Background

This project involves the removal and replacement of the water filter media at the Scott Candler Water Treatment Plant.

• The filters are vital for safe drinking water in DeKalb County. ​

• An assessment showed the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) media has significantly degraded physically and lost adsorption capacity due to age and long-term use, risking filter performance and operational disruptions. ​

• Internal filter components (grating, ladders, underdrains, etc.) require inspection, repair, and selective replacement to ensure safety, integrity, and reliable operation. ​

• Upgrades will maintain regulatory compliance, support water quality goals, and preserve operational flexibility. ​

• This project will proactively address aging infrastructure, minimize emergency repairs, and prepare the plant for future challenges like PFAS treatment, ensuring uninterrupted service. ​
