Wastewater System Improvements

This award-winning project for the City of Dunbar involved the replacement of the existing trickling filter plant with a 2.25 MGD Vertical Loop Reactor (VLR) plant. The project also included 45,600 ft. of storm and sanitary sewers and rehabilitation of nine (9) sewage-pumping stations. The Dunbar facility won the EPA Region III O & M Excellence Award, WV DEP Outstanding Plant Award and 1st place US EPA National Award for 1 MGD to 10 MGD Facilities and served as a prototype for the projects of other Ghosh clients.
