The project will also include the construction of a pump station, force main, and gravity sewer line improvements, as well as other infrastructure improvements needed to allow for regional connections to deliver approximate 10 MGD of flow through this location. This project is a cooperative, cost-sharing undertaking with WWTA that will yield savings for tax and rate payers in Chattanooga and WWTA while providing the benefit of schedule extensions on certain components of the City of Chattanooga's EPA Consent Decree. This project includes making capital improvements to the 23rd Street PS. These improvements are designed to improve the capacity, performance and reliability of the station and help to reduce sanitary sewer overflows in the area. This project, which is one of three components in the overall E2I2 program, includes the development of a feasibility study to determine the size, location, and required infrastructure improvements needed to construct an EQ station with an estimated 11 MGD of capacity near the intersection of Pineville Rd and Hudson Rd.
