The Well #26 and Raw Water Transmission Main project is being undertaken to provide needed capacity, redundancy and flexibility for the City of Goodyear’s water distribution system. The project scope includes a new production well (Well 26), with a targeted capacity of 1,500 gpm, transmission main and reverse osmosis (RO) improvements at the Bullard Water Campus (BWC) to handle the additional capacity. The City has selected a progressive Design-Build delivery method to expedite construction of the well and associated improvements. The anticipated capacity of the new well requires expansion of the existing RO facility capacity. Several alternative modifications were evaluated to increase treatment capacity while maintaining the existing building footprint. Modifications evaluated include the addition of two additional pressure vessels on each train for a 10:5 configuration, installation of the 8th RO train in the existing allocated space, maximizing recovery, or some combination thereof. To minimize cost and schedule, two existing RO trains at another site planned for decommissioning were repurposed to complete the expansion at BWC. Additionally, 3D modeling was used for the design of the RO retrofit and expansion, which greatly helped with coordination and consistency in the design.
