Energy conservation: New blower systems cut energy use by one-third
It takes a lot of electrical power to run a sewage treatment facility. New blower technology used to aerate wastewater will be installed for the Tri-City plant expansion. The equipment cuts projected energy consumption by one-third in the new section of the plant. Video title: Aeration
Reopening soon: Project renovates High Rocks (82nd Drive) Bridge
As part of the construction, a contract will be awarded soon for renovating the 82nd Drive Bridge between Gladstone and Oregon City. The span over the Clackamas River near High Rocks carries an essential pipeline connecting to the Tri-City plant. Pedestrians and cyclists are eager for the return of the bridge, which was closed because of a fire. Video title: High Rocks
