The town of Superior’s long-awaited sewer system improvement project is officially in motion, with construction that began in March and scheduled for completion by November of this year.
This $5.7 million project involves several major upgrades, including: Sludge removal and disposal from two lagoon cells. Repairing dike settlement in the lagoons. Installing new liners and a baffle curtain. Upgrading the aeration system with new blowers, diffusers, and a blower building. Constructing a new headworks building, including SCADA controls for both the headworks and blower systems. Installing a UV treatment system and water service infrastructure. Building a two-story screening system in front of the deep lift station to protect the pumps.
City Council members Bessie Spangler, Wanda James and Stephanie Quick recently got a behind-the-scenes look at the project during a guided tour led by Andy Cadman, the town’s Public Works assistant. Cadman, along with Superintendent Rodney Goings, are Superior’s certified state water and wastewater operators.
