Maguire has a successful long‐term relationship with the Town of Plymouth in Connecticut, having first designed the 1988 upgrade with a 1.75 mgd average design flow capacity for its WWTP. The plant site was extremely tight and necessitated phas‐ ing‐in new work to keep the old plant running. Many existing tanks and structures were reused, rehabilitated, or converted to provide a cost‐effective solution to the site constraints. Maguire was later asked to evaluate nitrogen removal alternatives to meet DEP requirements. Maguire’s study recommended converting the existing ex‐ tended aeration process to a modified Bardenpho® process, achieved by in‐tank modi‐ fications. Maguire helped the Town receive financial incentives from the local power company for the energy‐efficient turbo blowers that are being installed. In addition to the denitrification upgrade, the existing headworks was upgraded to include an automatic fine screen and standalone grit washing system. The fine screen was installed in the existing influent channel; the manual bar screens were retained as backup to the automatic screen. An existing grit rake was replaced with a pump that delivers grit to the washing system. New equipment was housed in a pre‐engineered building for protection against the weather. The new building required special design considerations for the “explosion‐proof” environment in the headworks portion. The headworks building also provides a separate 2‐bay garage area for parking and stor‐ age. Future planned plant upgrades include evaluation of chemical addition and filtra‐ tion to meet the new DEP phosphorus removal requirements and replacement of the existing but outdated UV disinfection system.
