Project Overview
The purpose of this project is to ensure reliable electrical service at the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant. Existing electrical equipment providing main power to the plant is at the end of its expected life. To ensure continued reliable wastewater treatment for the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District service area, the power that feeds into the plant, the switchgears and the main transformers are being replaced. All work is within the boundaries of the plant, and the effect on the public is expected to be minimal. Work is being coordinated closely with Madison Gas & Electric.
Public Involvement
All work is within the fence of the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant. No public input was collected.
Project Funding
Construction of upgrades and improvements to the District Electrical Service Equipment Replacement project is financed by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The CWSRF program is administered by WI DNR with joint funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Wisconsin. This project benefits community residents and businesses in and near the City of Madison, as well as providing water quality benefits for the larger Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District service area and downstream watersheds. CWSRF programs operate around the country to provide states and communities with the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects our valuable water resources nationwide.
