To ensure water treatment operations can continue in high volume and wet weather conditions, Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority has Contracted J. Cumby Construction to increase the peak flow treatment capacity of its Adams Field Water Reclamation Facility.

This will be accomplished in, large part, by the addition of a 92,000 gallon per minute effluent pump station, and the construction of a new 23,000 square foot filtration building featuring MegaDisk pile cloth media and ultra violet disinfection equipment.

Additionally, J. Cumby will be renovating and upgrading equipment for three 1.8 million gallon secondary clarifier tanks, a 38,000 square foot aeration basin, and several other sewage treatment process components and structures to include aeration blowers, sludge pumps, electrical building, and miscellaneous water handling structures.

All facility improvements will increase the sewage processing capacity from around 25 to 94 million gallons per day, enabling the plant to absorb the heavy additional flows from significant rain events.
