Upgraded Water Treatment Plant in Madisonville

The upgraded water treatment plant in Madisonville, Kentucky, recently began operation. Bell’s design for the city included upgrading the existing 8 mgd conventional plant to a 10.5 mgd capacity membrane filter plant, including a new filter and operation building, replacement of the existing SCADA system and new chemical feed systems. Improvements to both the river and reservoir raw water pumping stations and upgrading the reservoir intake were also a part of the project.
