SUMMARY:
The City operates two chlorine contact chambers (CCCs) at the Marshall Street Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The inner CCC was taken out of service due to a suspected leak at the eastern end of the chamber upstream of the de-chlorination tank.
Phase 1 includes crack injections and repairs to the waterproofing expansion joint at the inner CCC weir wall. Phase 2 includes application of an inner CCC coating along the south wall adjacent to the filter building. If Phases 1 and 2 fail to prevent additional leakage, Phase 3 will be initiated to waterproof the outer CCC expansion joints at the weir wall.
