The Bryson City WWTP Improvements project expands the Towns existing sanitary sewer collection and treatment facilities. The project includes increasing the permitted capacity of the wastewater treatment plant from 0.6 to 0.9 MGD average daily flow by way of replacing the existing contact stabilization activated sludge process with a higher capacity oxidation ditch process, clarifiers and sludge storage/digestion housed in new structures. The project also includes the replacement and upsizing of existing 10-inch vitrified clay sewer line(s) adjacent to and within the property with larger-diameter sewer line(s) to alleviate existing capacity deficiency, among other improvements.
This project is being funded in whole or in part by the DWI via the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funding. The ARPA Project Grant will pay 100% for eligible project costs up to $15,000,000. The State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan of $1,998,400 will be repayable at
