WASTEWATER PLANT UPGRADE WILL AFFECT ASTORIA’S ALDERBROOK NEIGHBORHOOD



Construction of Astoria’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Effluent Treatment Upgrades project will begin on Monday, May 20th. The improvements to the WWTP include: dechlorination equipment and instrumentation, chlorine contact chamber upgrades, wastewater effluent flow meter replacement, wastewater effluent pH adjustment equipment and instrumentation, and chlorine feed system upgrades and instrumentation.

On Monday, the contractor, R&G Excavating, will begin mobilizing equipment and materials to the project site that is located just northeast of the Alderbrook neighborhood. There will be an increase in truck traffic in the area for about two weeks as they deliver fill material to the site. After the fill material is installed, there will be a lull in construction activity until mid-June when the major work effort will begin.Construction of this project is expected to be completed in November.
