Black & Veatch / Owner: Parker Water & Sanitation DistrictThe challenge
As part of the Parker Water Resource Centralization Project, multiple well house facilities required mechanical modifications to transition the District’s disinfection system from chlorine gas to monochloramine. The work involved coordinating upgrades across 13 separate well houses while installing new treatment and pumping infrastructure at additional project sites. The improvements also included constructing a new pump station and expanding water storage capacity.

Challenge met
Filanc completed mechanical modifications at 13 well house facilities, transitioning the District from chlorine gas disinfection to monochloramine using sodium hypochlorite and liquid ammonium sulfate.
The project also included construction of the new 14-MGD Canyons Pump Station, housed in a 2,450-square-foot masonry building. The pump station includes two 400-horsepower vertical turbine pumps producing 8,000 gpm and two 150-horsepower vertical turbine pumps producing 3,000 gpm. The system connects to 24-inch steel suction and discharge lines and is protected by two buried steel surge tanks.
Additional work included construction of the Bradbury Tank site, which features a new 500,000-gallon concrete water storage tank along with associated grading, piping, foundations and site civil work.
