The work at Copper Center includes:

• Upgrades and additions to the water treatment equipment;

• Reconfiguration to the existing maintenance building to accommodate new process equipment;

• Modifications to the water storage tanks; and

• Upgrades to the fire water services.

The work at Glennallen includes:

• Construction of a new water treatment building including protected parking for water transportation vehicles;

• Installation of a new well; and

• Relocation and upgrades to the water process systems to support future needs.

The purpose of this project is to provide high quality potable water to the Glennallen and Copper Center facilities, meeting the current and future demands at both sites.
