AE2S, teamed with another consultant, was selected by the Big Sky Water and Sewer District (District) for preliminary and final design engineering and construction administration to upgrade and expand the WWTF to support diversification and expansion of its exiting effluent reuse and disposal options
AE2S worked with the City of Otsego to complete a Wastewater Master Plan in 2018 that charted the wastewater utility’s direction for the next 80 years. The first major project from the Master Plan is a Biosolids Building, which will dewater thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) from both the City’s East WWTF and West WWTF
The existing City of Sturgis wastewater treatment facility consists of an influent Parshall flume, mechanical 6mm fine screen, an effluent flow meter, an aeration pond, two secondary treatment ponds and one irrigation storage pond. Emergency discharges directly to nearby Bear Butte Creek have become a common occurrence in recent years because irrigation properties have not been able to handle the volume of treated wastewater produced by the facility
