Westfield Fire District No. 1
Location: Westfield Vermont
Service: Water Treatment Facilities Upgrades
Point of Contact: Gordon Lesperance, Prudential Committee Chair
In 2016, Jamie Simpson assisted the Westfield Fire District No. 1 with improvements to the existing Water Treatment Facility to address the high concentrations of Iron & Manganese in the water supply.
The facilities upgrades project involved a complex Iron & Manganese Treatment System that included three (3) Greensand Plus® filtration vessels, a backwash disposal system that provided a 24-hour detention time for flocculation and settling, blending of two (2) separate potable water sources (drilled bedrock well & spring source), pre-chlorination dosing for oxidation of iron, disinfection chlorination, reservoir upgrades and cleaning, as well as programmable logic controls and metering for all components of the system.
Preliminary Engineering, Final Design, Construction Contract Documents, Permitting, Bid Phase Services, and Resident Representative services were all provided. Jamie Simpson also assisted the Fire District to secure funding with USDA Rural Development.
