MISSION: To provide continuous operation and maintenance of the City of Richmond Municipal Sewer District, treatment plant for domestic, commercial, and industrial wastewater in the Richmond area of Contra Costa County. Overview: This program is organized via a 20-year contract with Veolia Water North America under the direction of the City Engineer. The facility consists of screening, grit removal, preparation, primary sedimentation, activated sludge, secondary clarification, anaerobic sludge digestion, chlorination, and de-chlorination. The Plant Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are evaluated using the following criteria established by the City and Veolia:
• Projects needed for health and safety. • Projects needed to maintain the quality of effluent
flow. • Projects mandated by regulatory agencies. • Projects that ensure adequate process reliability. • Projects that improve efficiency and effectiveness.
Funding Sources
• Wastewater Bond $947,188 Program Highlights Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Digester Upgrades (#1, & #2); FY2006 - FY2009 This upgrade is required in order to comply with the mandatory for Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 503 compliance. Using power generated by the Fuel Cells, the cost for energy consumption at the treatment plant will decrease dramatically. Once completed, the upgrade will help improve the efficiency of the anaerobic digested biosolids process. (Combined Program Cost $5,500,000)

Aeration Basins FY2006 – FY2009 This project will facilitate solids removal, thus increasing wastewater treatment efficiency. Program Cost ( $3,073,215) Effluent Water Reuse Project FY2006-FY2007 In addition to complying with the “Waste Minimization Mandate” from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, this project will support the work needed to pursue use of reclaimed water for various needs, i.e. irrigation, non-potable water for wash-down, etc. (Program Cost $475,000) Clarifier Improvement/Upgrade FY2006-FY2007 In order to maintain compliance with the discharge requirements of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (N.P.D.E.S.) permit, this project will upgrade and/or repair Clarifier(s) as needed. The Clarifier(s) at the plant are aging and becoming extremely inefficient in the treatment process of wastewater. (Program Cost $403,200) Influent Pump Replacement FY2006-FY2007 This project replaces Influent Pump(s) with more energy efficient ones. The influent pumps at the headworks are reaching the end of their useful life. (Program Cost $1,231,700) Performance Measures A set of performance measures have been designed to set goals and meet target dates. The performance levels established are for Wastewater’s Capital program. There is also contract language with milestones and deadlines for completion.
• Completion of Capital project within two (2) months of the approved schedule. • Keep the budget costs for the Capital projects within the adopted budget. • Better project delivery costs for construction costs • Contract language milestones
Strict compliance with all local, state and federal Regulatory Agency requirements is the Wastewater Treatment Plant’s main priority. This will be accomplished by continuous participation of staff in off-site conferences, trainings, and workshops.
