A major investment in municipal water infrastructure has expanded wastewater treatment capacity in Canton, Georgia, providing additional system capacity while incorporating advanced treatment technologies to support future operational and environmental requirements.
The Clark Water and Reeves Young joint venture has completed construction of the expanded Water Pollution Control Plant for the City of Canton. Project partners and city officials recently marked the completion of the facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The expansion increases the plant's treatment capacity by 50%, allowing it to process up to 7 million gallons of wastewater per day. The project represents the largest capital improvement investment in the city's history.
In addition to increasing capacity, the modernization is intended to strengthen treatment performance and support compliance with current environmental regulations.
The project included comprehensive site development, utility installation and construction of new process facilities.
Major improvements feature membrane filtration and tertiary treatment systems, an advanced laboratory for water quality monitoring and analysis, upgraded grit removal equipment, and a new solids handling facility equipped with a thermal drying system. The facility also incorporates high-efficiency aeration equipment to support biological treatment operations.
H2O Innovation participated in the project alongside the Clark Water and Reeves Young joint venture.
Communities across the United States continue investing in wastewater infrastructure to accommodate population growth, improve treatment efficiency and comply with increasingly stringent environmental standards. For construction owners, utilities and specialty contractors, projects such as the Canton Water Pollution Control Plant expansion demonstrate sustained demand for advanced water infrastructure, specialized process construction and collaborative project delivery in the municipal utilities sector.
