On Thursday, September 16, 2021, government officials, business leaders and representatives from multiple agencies gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of Mondovi's new wastewater treatment plant. The facility will include state-of-the-art technologies for eco-friendly and sustainable water treatment and UV disinfection, biosolids handling, energy savings initiatives and plant equipment monitoring and control.
The City of Mondovi's new WWTP will use a CLEARAS Advanced Biological Nutrient Recovery (ABNR) system to remove phosphorus from the wastewater. Implementing this algae-based system will help the city in two ways. It will ensure future effluent phosphorus limits are met while simultaneously recovering the phosphorus into a marketable algae by-product harvested for use in bioplastics, foam or biochemicals. Payback and revenue associated with the algae co-product will help offset the facility's operating costs.
C.D. Smith Construction is providing general contracting services and started work at the site, on Mondovi's west side, about a week before the groundbreaking ceremony in early September. Project Manager Nick Beil spoke on behalf of C.D. Smith, with enthusiasm for bringing the new plant to fruition, when he said, "We're excited to be in Mondovi as part of their adventure with this new plant. It's a pretty new and advanced system."
In the interest of transparency, the City of Mondovi created a webpage with Wastewater Treatment Plant Information. Additionally, the September 23rd issue of the Buffalo County News featured a multipage article about the groundbreaking of the New WWTP Facility.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development joined the City of Mondovi, CBS Squared Inc., CLEARAS Water Recovery, C.D. Smith and others in the groundbreaking celebration. The USDA RD reported on the groundbreaking event with an update on Mondovi's WWTP project that related its importance to challenges faced by many rural communities in Wisconsin, linked here: USDA Celebrates City of Mondovi Wastewater Treatment Plant Groundbreaking.
Congratulations to all involved in this momentous occasion. The groundbreaking of the wastewater treatment plant facility represents an important day to the City of Mondovi!
