Workplan activities consist of addressing a portion of the needed water system upgrades (as detailed in the larger project scope) to meet regulatory treatment requirements such as demolition/construction of existing facilities; addition of filtration and treatment capacity for manganese and radium with plumbing and chemical feed systems - as well as expansion of facility driveway to accommodate the chemical room addition.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include the expansion of the existing drinking water well house #4 to be able to filter out manganese and radium with additional chemical treatment room.
The expected outcomes include:
- Ensure to public health by treating manganese and radium in the water system.
