The City of Riviera Beach (Grantee) owns and operates a WTP located at800 West Blue Heron Boulevard, Riviera Beach, Florida, 33404. Disinfection at the Riviera Beach WTP is currently provided by a chlorine gas disinfection system. In 2013, disinfection system improvements at the WTP were identified as the top potable water system priority in the City of Riviera Beach. The replacement of the chlorine gas disinfection system with a liquid sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) disinfection system was selected due to potential safety concerns with the existing gaseous system and to improve water quality and drinking water standards efficiency.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Grantee will upgrade the existing infrastructure of the disinfection system at the Riviera Beach WTP by replacing the gaseous chlorine disinfection system with a liquid NaOCL disinfection system. The Grantee will construct a liquid NaOCL disinfection system facility that will include: a re-carbonation system for pH control, modification of the disinfection yard piping system, and anew motor control center. The Grantee does not anticipate that the funding under this agreement will result in a fully completed project, so this agreement will cover a portion of the work.
