Tampa Water Department advances cutting edge technology. 06/29/2026 Tampa Water Department advances groundbreaking technology. The Tampa Water Department is taking a major step forward in its efforts to enhance drinking water quality, as new testing confirms the effectiveness of its innovative Suspended Ion Exchange (SIX) treatment technology in reducing PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals." Recent testing conducted by an independent consultant evaluated SIX's ability to remove PFAS from raw water at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility. Results showed that the SIX system removed approximately 30% of PFAS compounds found in its water source. While this technology was initially chosen to help remove naturally occurring organic matter, testing confirmed its ability to remove PFAS as well. By removing both organic matter and PFAS early in the treatment process, SIX delivers multiple water quality benefits through a single treatment technology. SIX will not only allow other treatment processes work more effectively, but it will also position the Tampa Water Department to meet future drinking water regulations. In addition to improving water quality, SIX is expected to lower both future construction and operating costs. By helping the rest of the treatment system work more efficiently, SIX reduces the scale of treatment improvements needed at the plant. Studies conducted during project planning found that using SIX could save more than $80 million in future facility improvement costs compared to other treatment options. The technology will also significantly reduce ongoing treatment costs. During a 10-month pilot program, SIX demonstrated the ability to eliminate the need for some treatment chemicals while substantially reducing the use of others, resulting in projected annual savings of approximately $2 million. The latest test results come as the Tampa City Council has approved moving forward with the design phase of the SIX facility. The Tampa Water Department is partnering with the Tippin Water Team (Carollo Engineers, Garney Construction, Wharton Smith, Inc., and PWNT Technologies) to design and construct the new facility, with completion expected in 2032. Once operational, the SIX facility will be the first of its kind in North America and the largest SIX installation in the world, positioning Tampa as a global leader in advanced water treatment innovation.
New facility will add 10 MGD of treated water capacity and strengthen long-term water reliability for western Placer County. Release Date: June 16, 2026 AUBURN, Calif., June 16, 2026 - Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) has selected Carollo Engineers to provide construction management and SCADA programming services for the new Ophir Water Treatment Plant (WTP), a major infrastructure investment designed to meet growing regional demand and enhance system reliability. The project represents a long-planned expansion of treated water capacity as PCWA's current facilities approach peak operational capacity during high-demand summer periods. PCWA is the largest water service provider in Placer County, delivering treated water to approximately 192,000 people and supplying wholesale water to neighboring agencies. The Ophir WTP will initially add 10 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated water capacity, enough to serve 10,000 families, as the first phase of a multi-stage program allowing PCWA to scale the facility over time. Situated on a 22-acre site along Ophir Road in Auburn, California, the project will provide a critical new supply source while supporting long-term planning for communities across western Placer County. The Ophir site is master-planned to ultimately support up to 30 MGD of treatment capacity, offering a scalable and resilient solution to meet long-term regional water needs. The total estimated construction cost of the Ophir WTP Phase 1 is approximately $210 million. "This is a long-term investment that's been planned for decades," said PCWA General Manager Andy Fecko. "The project is structured so growth pays for growth, with water connection charges funding the capacity needed for new customers. An added benefit is that it also improves reliability and resilience for the customers we already serve." The new facility will relieve capacity constraints at PCWA's Foothill Water Treatment Plant, the agency's largest facility, which currently operates near its limits during high-demand summer months. Once operational, the Ophir WTP will enhance system flexibility and provide critical redundancy across the regional water network. The facility will also allow PCWA to extend its annual construction and maintenance window by roughly two months, enabling essential upgrades and rehabilitation work at the Foothill Water Treatment Plant during lower-demand periods. Carollo will manage schedule and cost tracking, inspection, documentation, and project coordination during the plant's initial phase, with work completed in line with project specifications, safety standards, and quality requirements.

Wastewater treatment project of the Year: Beardsley Road Water Reclamation Facility 6 MGD expansion (City of Peoria). The Beardsley Road Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) has reliably served the City of Peoria since the 1990s. With population growth driving higher flows, and a citywide beneficial reuse program being planned, Peoria expanded the facility from 4 MGD to 6 MGD, rehabilitated aging assets, and kept the plant operating throughout construction. Delivered through a progressive design-build partnership between Carollo Engineers and MGC Contractors, the project was structured in multiple packages, allowing the City to align spending with available funding, manage risk, and adapt to pandemic-related challenges. Key upgrades span the full treatment process, including headworks, aeration basins, clarifiers, filtration, disinfection, and odor control. Arizona's first installation of InDENSE(TM) biomass densification technology improved process performance and, combined with value engineering, eliminated the need for a fifth secondary clarifier, saving approximately $5 million in capital costs. Upgrading to high efficiency turbo blowers secured the city a $250,000 energy efficiency rebate while enhancements in UV and filtration technology limited the need for additional treatment trains. Video Player The facility's effluent was upgraded to Class A+, Arizona's highest standard for reclaimed water. A new effluent pump station was built to deliver high-quality water where it's needed most, directly supporting Peoria's beneficial reuse program and its goal of increasing recharge capacity and reducing reliance on potable water supplies for irrigation. "The Beardsley Road WRF 6 MGD Expansion is a great example of what can be accomplished through collaboration and innovation," said City of Peoria Engineering Supervisor Chris Sterne. "Carollo Engineers and MGC Contractors delivered exceptional work under unprecedented conditions, successfully navigating early COVID-19 challenges including supply chain disruptions, long-lead procurement, and on-site safety constraints. By pairing capacity expansion with advanced treatment technologies and process improvements, the team not only increased system reliability and enabled Class A+ reclaimed water production but also reduced both initial capital costs and long-term operational expenses. This project reflects Peoria's commitment to resilient, cost-effective infrastructure that supports continued growth and beneficial reuse."
