| October 23, 2014 Media Contact: Markus Owens, ENV PIO, 351-6305 Power being restored at Sand Island WWTP Honolulu – The city's Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant (SIWWTP), which had a 20 million gallon in-plant overflow on Sunday short-circuiting the plant's electric boxes, is slowly restoring power to vital components at the facility. Synagro, the In-Vessel Bioconversion Facility that takes the plant's sludge and turns it into soil amendment pellets, went back on the Hawaiian Electric grid last night at 6 p.m. Crews also installed new motors to the plant's two largest primary clarifiers 7 & 8. Rotating arms are now functioning and solids can be moved out of those tanks to the gravity thickeners for processing. SIWWTP should receive power to a third clarifier by Friday, while a backup clarifier is to be powered shortly thereafter. -END- |
