The Water Authority of Dickson County, to increase overall plant capacity and introduce more efficient treatment methods, has contracted J. Cumby Construction to upgrade and add to the Fairview Wastewater Treatment Plant in a two phase operation. 

Phase one consists of the construction of new anoxic and anaerobic tanks to incorporate the use of both bubble aeration equipment and rotating mixers as well as a new headworks structure and associated underground piping and vaults. Also included in phase one are an electrical building secondary anoxic and re/air basins.

Phase two of the project includes renovation to the plant’s existing oxidation structure by adding jet aeration as well as the rehabilitation of disc aeration. A new 40’ clarifier, post aeration/UV disinfection structure, and nitrified recycle pump station will be added to the plant as part of phase two as well.

In all, the improvements will increase plant processing capacity to over 2.2 million gallons per day and create a more thorough and efficient treatment process.
