FORT WASHINGTON, Pa. - January 26, 2009 - Severn Trent Services was selected by the City of Danville, Va. to provide contract management, operations and maintenance services for the City's 24 million-gallon-per-day Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant. Severn Trent also will be responsible for the City's industrial pretreatment program, 11 pump stations and biosolids land application program. The three-year partnership is valued at $6 million.
During the first two years of the partnership, the City will modify the facility to make it a more efficient operation for the lower flows being received. This may involve a process change.
"Our partnership with Danville builds on our presence in Virginia, which includes a contract with the Cities of Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia," noted Dana Kaas, vice president, Operating Services. "We are proud to partner with the City of Danville. By putting their trust in a private operator, the City of Danville is proof public-private partnerships bring real value, especially in these times when municipalities are facing their most pressing financial challenges."
