STAFF ANALYSIS
CIP Project #60034 – Brine Disposal Improvement Pipeline Project will provide final construction services. In general, the proposed improvements include the construction of pipelines to convey water treatment byproduct (brine) from city water treatment facilities to the PVNPS. The water treatment facilities at the Bullard Water Campus and Site 12 produce a concentrated brine byproduct as part of the treatment process. At peak production, the Bullard Water Campus generates 1 million gallons per day (MGD) and Site 12 generates 0.6 MGD. The current brine management process sends 1.6 MGD of brackish water/brine to the Goodyear Water Reclamation Facility for treatment.
This Council Action Request is to obtain authorization for the expenditure of funds for the construction of CIP Project #60034 – Brine Disposal Improvement Pipeline Project.
