Abstract/Summary
This case study compares two different wastewater treatment plants and analyzes the different characteristics, including strengths and weaknesses of both. The first plant being addressed is the Stockton Regional Wastewater Controls Facility (RWCF), and the second plant studied is the Morro Bay Water Reclamation Facility. These facilities are both quite new at the time of this paper, though they are both very different in size and geographical location, as one is on top of a hill, and one is in the middle of a valley. The Stockton RWCF is currently under construction, nearing completion at the time of this paper, and has a current budget of approximately $300 million. The Morro Bay Water Reclamation Facility was completed in 2023 and cost $115.5 million to complete, including $78 million for the facility itself and another $37.5 million for pipelines and pump stations. Factors such as these, different filtration systems being used, budget, and other miscellaneous information will be used to determine the pros and cons to each facility. The focus of this study is to provide valuable information which could improve future construction of wastewater treatment and evaluate the effectiveness of current technology and alternatives.
