Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) has completed many improvements to its sewer collection system and its main wastewater treatment facility since the 2004 TDEC Commissioner’s Order. Those actions have eliminated violations at the WWTP and reduced sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).  However, SSO’s continue to occur at a higher than acceptable level.  Consequently, as of August 27, 2014 the aforementioned Commissioner’s Order was superseded by Consent Order 14-0044 requiring the elimination of SSO’s by 2024. This Order resulted in the development and implementation of a revised plan to address the SSO’s through a combination of ongoing investigative and rehabilitation initiatives as well as new improvements initiatives including equalization tanks and interceptor replacement.
Program Phase 3: Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
Project Description: Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) completed a wastewater collection system rehabilitation program to address infiltration and inflow issues within the collection system to comply with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Consent Order # 14-0044. As part of this program, HPUD rehabilitated areas of the system that were identified via preventative maintenance and inspection efforts. The collected scope of Work was issued for bid and awarded for construction as Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program Phase 3 – Contract 1. The scope of work consisted of lining and/or replacement of approximately 27,850 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipeline, 140 point repairs, and 425 manholes as shown in the Story Map for Phase 3 Rehab.
Program Phase 4: Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
Project Description: Hallsdale-Powell Utility District (HPUD) is in Phase 4 of its wastewater collection system rehabilitation program to address infiltration and inflow issues within the collection system to comply with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Consent Order # 14-0044. As part of this program, HPUD is rehabilitating areas of the system that have been identified via preventative maintenance and inspection efforts. HPUD staff identified rehabilitation elements for inclusion in Phase 4 of the Sanitary Rehabilitation Program. The Phase 4 elements consist of the lining and/or bursting of approximately 44,400 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipeline, 460 service laterals, 190 point repairs, and 337 manholes with 2,445 vertical feet of lining as shown in the Story Map for Phase 4 Rehab.
