Saving Money
By selectively performing in-house design and construction inspection, the team has saved millions of dollars in consulting costs.
Wastewater System Improvement Project
In 2012, a Wastewater System Improvement Project (WSIP) was completed that significantly increased the capacity of the city's wastewater system and included the construction of the $61 million new West Side Wastewater Treatment Facility. The wastewater system can now treat wastewater for 115,000 people. Several capital projects have been completed on the wastewater system since the WSIP was completed in order to further improve the quality of the sanitary sewer system in Fayetteville.
Additional Projects
The department has managed the design and construction of numerous water and sewer projects done by consultants and contractors, including a $2.3 million sewer rehabilitation project, a $1.3 million water tank rehabilitation project, and several water and sewer relocations for ARDOT projects. In 2017, the team also finished a complete rewrite of the standard specifications for design and construction of water and sewer lines.
