Wastewater Projects
S23 - West Jackson Regional WWTF and Transmission Main
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Reynolds, Inc. (Transmission Mains Only)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - DRM Utilities (West Jackson County Treatment Plant)
Many Areas of West Jackson County have no centralized sewer systems. These areas include Vancleave, Latimer, Big Hill Acres, developments along Joe Batt Road and Jim Ramsey Road. These areas are projected to develop rapidly, partially due to the construction of a new five-lane MS 57 to I-10. A regional wastewater treatment system is necessary to provide for well-managed systems. The proposed project includes expansion of the existing West Jackson WWTF, which appears to be the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to developing a regional system. The plan calls for a 2 million gallon per day expansion of the existing West Jackson WWTF and construction of transmission mains along Joe Batt and Jim Ramsey Road to Vancleave, and areas north along MS 57.
S25 - Gulf Park and Ocean Beach Areas Transmission System Improvements
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - DRM Utilities (Phase I)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Hudson Contracting, Inc. (Phase II)
The area located between Ocean Springs and Gautier, south of U.S. 90, is commonly referred to as Gulf Park Estates to the west and Ocean Beach/St. Andrews to the east. In order to provide improved wastewater transportation service and for collection systems to be installed in these devastated areas, the selected plan includes expansion of two existing pump stations and construction of a transmission network in Ocean Beach Estates.
S26E - Hurley Decentralized System
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - C.B. Developers, Inc. (Transmission Mains Only)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Plaas, Inc. (Treatment Plant Only)
The community of Hurley including nearby areas have no centralized sewer service, and is projected to increase in population. Because of the lack of wastewater facilities, growth is being hindered in this area. Therefore, an immediate need exists for access to wastewater facilities to accommodate the demand for new housing. The selected plan for this area is the construction of a decentralized WWTF’ and transmission mains. The WWTF will have a capacity of approximately 75,000 gallons per day. The WWTF site will be identified to accommodate the highest density of development in an area, and the transmission mains will follow existing roads to allow for connection of subdivisions to the decentralized system.
S26 - North Jackson County Decentralized WWTF’s
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - C.B. Developers, Inc. (Transmission Mains Only)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Hemphill Construction Company (Treatment Plants Only)
The communities of Big Point and Wade, and the area north of Vancleave, including other nearby areas have no centralized sewer service; and, each of these areas is projected to increase in population. Because of the lack of wastewater facilities, growth is being hindered in these areas. Therefore, an immediate need exists for access to wastewater facilities to accommodate the demand for new housing. The selected plan for this area is the construction of three decentralized WWTF’s and transmission mains. The WWTF’s will have a capacity of approximately 0.125 million gallons per day. The WWTF sites will be identified to accommodate the highest density of development in an area, and the transmission mains will follow existing roads to allow for connection of subdivisions to the decentralized system.
S28 - Gautier Regional WWTF Improvements
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - J&P Construction Company, Inc.
Wastewater from the City of Gautier and surrounding area is collected and transported to the Gautier WWTF for treatment. This area is projected to experience rapid growth. The clarification system is limiting the plant’s ability to meet the 4 million gallons per day design capacity by at least 1 million gallons per day. The proposed project includes construction of a new clarifier at the existing WWTF. The upgrade to the clarifier will ensure that the WWTF can continue to handle future growth.
S29 - Escatawpa Regional WWTF Improvements
UNDER CONSTRUCTION - J&P Construction Company, Inc.
The existing Escatawpa WWTF serves the community of Escatawpa and a portion of the City of Moss Point. This complete mix conventional aeration facility has a capacity of 3 millions gallons per day; however, the facility produces more sludge than typically expected and cannot meet the design capacity. The selected plan is to expand the sludge handling facilities at the existing WWTF. This improvement ill accommodate the increased flow in the area, from the community of Helena, and growth anticipated along MS 63 and MS 613.
