FNESL provided project planning, design, and construction services for the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte Water Treatment Plant. The project was awarded 2017 Ontario Public Works Association Project of the Year Award for Small Municipality and First Nation Communities.
The design includes a water distribution system, surface water intake to the Bay of Quinte, a raw water pump station and forcemain connection to a new water treatment plant consisting of membrane filtration, UV reactors, chlorination and chloramination for residual disinfection. FNESL incorporated a gravity feed approach to store water in the glass lined steel bolted standpipes. These in turn fed the high lift distribution pumps in the plant by gravity. Spending the extra time to develop a gravity flow treatment to storage to high lift pumps reduced overall capital for the project and reduced operational costs for the community by eliminating double pumping.
