The Addison Town Hall and Addison Community Baptist Church needed a centralized wastewater system to reestablish use of the historic Town Hall building, which sat vacant for nearly a decade. The structure required significant renovation, and its marginal (mostly clay) soils and a high water table made a conventional on-site wastewater system infeasible. At the…

The city completed the design of improvements to the existing wastewater pump station. Through that process, it became evident that the existing system had reached the end of its operating life, and selected components should be replaced rather than upgraded to provide increased reliability, energy efficiency, safety, and compatibility with other city pump stations. D&K…
Orwell’s wastewater treatment facility includes an aerated lagoon facility that provides secondary treatment and chlorine disinfection of wastewater.

Three small municipalities had to find a solution to maintain Lake Fairlee, a regional recreational resource with numerous lakefront properties that make up a substantial component of these towns’ grand lists. The logistics and politics of rehabilitating the Lake Fairlee Dam were complex: the dam is privately owned, and the dam’s concrete auxiliary spillway, which…
