We are VERY EXCITED to be making the following announcement:

South Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority has been awarded a $4,210,000 grant to assist Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association with extensive upgrades to their wastewater treatment plant facility.

This wastewater treatment plant has been in operation for nearly 40 years now and serves over 4,000 properties within the Hideout Community. The majority of the treatment equipment and facility buildings are original and will be updated in this 10.5 million dollar renovation.

The project includes upgrades and replacement of equipment at the wastewater treatment plant, including: the rehabilitation of two 1.0 million gallon equalization tanks and associated aeration system; rehabilitation of two secondary clarifiers units; replacement of two aerobic digesters; replacement of emergency generator; replacement of electrical equipment which power all plant operations and related electrical controls; rehabilitation and repurposing of the existing Control/Operations building; the addition of a maintenance garage; new chemical feed for copper removal; replacement of chorine disinfection with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection; and miscellaneous pump, valve and ancillary equipment replacement and Odor Control.

With the updates, the wastewater treatment plant can improve operations and continue to provide reliable State and Federal regulatory complaint service to the community. In addition, the grant will provide for stable rates in the near future.
