Pump Station Design Considerations and Construction Solutions
October 8, 2024 | 3:30pm
The Jackson County Utility Authority (JCUA) 24-inch diameter Washington Avenue wastewater force main was adversely impacted by high flows and pressures during peak wet weather events that resulted in decreased system pumping capabilities. The force main is approximately 46,000 linear feet, so increasing the main diameter to allow for improved capacity was cost prohibitive. Kimley-Horn assisted JCUA with evaluating alternatives to improve operating conditions and designed a new pump station with an inline pressure-reducing station (PRS). The new in-line wastewater PRS features an operating control scheme that utilizes a bypass that allows low- or average-flow periods to bypass the PRS. Defining the system controls for the PRS was the most challenging aspect of the project and was achieved by installing two pressure transmitters separated by an inline valve check. This design was a cost-effective solution that increase capacity and resulted in energy savings.

What IS the Workforce of the Future?: Utility Leaders Roundtable
October 8, 2024 | 3:30pm
Every business sector, including the Water Industry, has current with workforce challenges. In water utilities, there up to five generations in the current workforce. So why are we concerned with the workforce of the future? Generational challenges, evolving technology and institutional knowledge depletion will continue to be existential threats to the industry. This session will engage utility leaders to gain perspectives learned from a Utility Executive Director with over thirty years of leadership experience, sharing actionable expertise and best practices to prepare for the Workforce of the Future. Industry leaders will have an opportunity to discuss and dialogue with peers in a roundtable setting.
