Community Meeting for Irvine Ranch Water District Biosolids Project Scheduled

 
Jan. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- The Biosolids project team is hosting its first community meeting to provide an update on the project

status. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 15 at 6 p.m. at the IRWD Learning Center at the

San Joaquin Marsh.

Project team members will provide a project update and answer any questions from the public. Light snacks will be provided.

The Biosolids Energy & Recover Facilities Project integrates a new state‐of‐the‐art

organics‐handling system at the Michelson Water Recycling Plant (MWRP). This new system includes

biosolids processing, biogas management, and energy recovery systems. The system makes efficient and

sustainable use of locally generated renewable resources by creating a beneficial use of biosolids and

biogases that are produced during the wastewater treatment/recycling process.

This project aligns with green and sustainable business practices, while at the same time creating an effective cost management of wastewater services for IRWD customers. The project is expected to save IRWD customers an average of $10 million annually over the next 20 years.

The project is located at the existing MWRP, at 3512 Michelson Drive, Irvine, CA 92612 and is being constructed within a 4.6‐acre rectangular‐shaped site. The MWRP is part of a larger property owned by IRWD, which is approximately 452 acres and includes the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Work began earlier this year and is expected to be completed in Fall 2016. For weekly project update information, please visit the District’s website at www.irwd.com.
