Original Plant Design
0.075 MGD extended aeration or 0.150 MGD contact stabilization McNeill "QUAD" wastewater treatment facility. This expansion of the existing McNeill "QUAD" 0.114 MGD extended aeration was completed some 20 years after the first construction.

Comments
In a competitive bid situation for the original construction, the McNeill plant, although not the lowest price, was recommended by Mr. Alan Aront, P.E., the project engineer. His decision was based on projected long range savings in electricity, chemicals, maintenance upkeep costs and maintenance labor the McNeill plant would provide.

The expansion was bid with the McNeill equipment and technical support package price written into the bid documents for all bidders to use.
