THE VILLAGE OF LOWVILLE CELEBRATES COMPLETED PHASES
OF TWO MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
LOWVILLE, NY - The Village of
Lowville will be holding a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in honor of the
completion of
Phase I of their
Groundwater Project and Phase II of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Project.
The event will be held on Wednesday, November 1, at 10 AM at the Village of
Lowville Wastewater Treatment Plant.
GYMO, DPC has
been the Village’s Engineer on various projects for nearly a decade,
including for these two significant projects.
The Village of
Lowville has prioritized infrastructure improvements in
order to expand municipal water and sewer access to their users.
GYMO assisted by increasing the water supply permit for the Village from
1.6 million gallons/day to 2.1 million gallons/day. This increase will help
to alleviate any water shortage. Phase I of the $5.7 million groundwater
project consisted of the construction of two groundwater wells, which will
draw approximately 500,000 gallons per day. ±9,000 linear feet (LF) of new
water main and electrical line service the well pumps. Upgrades were also
made inside of the existing Water Treatment Plant to better modernize the
facility. GYMO aided the Village of Lowville in securing a $3 million grant
from EFC in order to allow the project to come to
fruition.
GYMO assisted the
Village in securing over $6.4 million in grant money for their Wastewater
Treatment Plant Project. Additionally, Empire State Development awarded a
$4 million capital grant recommended by the regional economic development
council. The Environmental Facilities Corporation awarded $1.28 million.
The project entailed the replacement of a new synthetic liner in an 8 acre
sewage lagoon as well as all Aeration and Diffuser Equipment. Other project
highlights include the construction of a new chlorine contact tank and a
new chemical storage tank. Metering Equipment throughout the plant was
upgraded and replaced as needed, as well.
These are sound
investments made by the Village in order to ensure
the sustainability of the community. GYMO is full service
Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying and Construction Management Firm
located in Watertown, NY. They have helped municipalities across Northern
and Central NY bring their great ideas to life since GYMO’s inception, in
1992.
