ROCK SPRINGS — The City of Rock Springs may pursue a State Loan and Investment Board grant to help fund the water reclamation facility’s solids handling and odor control project.
During the Rock Springs City Council meeting, the Council is scheduled to review a resolution authorizing the City of Rock Springs to apply to the State Loan and Investment Board (SLIB) for a Grant through Water and Sewer ARPA Grant Program Funding for the Water Reclamation Facility Solids Handling/Odor Control Project. The city will ask SLIB for $5.25 million.
According to information in the Council packet, the project will cover the design and construction of a processing facility that will utilize solar and supplemental heating sources to dry and process biosolids produced from the wastewater treatment process. The year round processing of the biosolids will reduce the odors released during this operation. In addition, air scrubbers will be installed to reduce the odors emitted from the facility.
