Wright City’s existing lagoon-based wastewater treatment system, originally constructed more than 40 years ago, could no longer meet the demands of the community’s growth or support major new industrial development. Public Water Supply District No. 2 needed a modern treatment facility capable of significantly increasing capacity while meeting stringent nutrient-removal requirements. The project also needed to accommodate industrial wastewater from American Foods Group’s new America’s Heartland Packaging facility, creating a complex treatment challenge with an accelerated delivery schedule.
Key Facts
Increased treatment capacity from 0.5 MGD to 3.5 MGD
Completed ahead of schedule in 19 months
Value engineering provided 6% cost savings
Challenge met
Alberici, in partnership with Woodard & Curran, delivered a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility that provides reliable treatment capacity for both municipal and industrial users. The facility incorporates advanced biological nutrient removal processes, tertiary filtration, UV disinfection, solids handling systems, backup power generation, and integrated SCADA controls. Through progressive design-build delivery, collaborative planning, and innovative constructability solutions, the team accelerated project delivery, optimized costs, and created a resilient facility capable of supporting long-term community growth, environmental stewardship, and one of the region’s largest economic development investments
