The Industrial & Domestic Water Treatment Plant will be discussed during the Savannah City Council’s workshop on Thursday.
In December, the city council approved a $1.5 million contract with Hussey, Gay, and Bell, to determine future water demand needs, develop supply plans, evaluate the plant’s condition and recommend upgrades. The assessment is part of a plan to reduce the amount of groundwater it withdraws by 2025, as mandated by the state to prevent saltwater intrusion, even as area growth and development is increasing demand.
The plant treats water from Abercorn Creek a tributary of the Savannah River in Port Wentworth and then supplies the water to city customers, as well as industrial businesses, the cities of Pooler and Port Wentworth, and Effingham County. The plan is the largest project undertaken for the plant since it was initially constructed in 1947, according to city officials.
