The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) recognized United Water New Jersey’s Haworth Water Treatment Plant Upgrade with a National Design-Build Excellence Award in the water/wastewater over $25 million category.
United Water constructed a $100 million upgrade to the company’s 200-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) facility, which serves 800,000 people in northern New Jersey. The project included innovative high-rate dissolved air flotation (DAF) for sedimentation clarification, ozone pretreatment process, new disinfection facilities and new residuals handling and treatment processes.
United Water’s state-of-the-art ozone system removes unwanted tastes and odors, boosts DAF performance, and increases filter run periods by 4 to 6 times—contributing to the water treatment plant’s exceptional water quality and energy efficiency.
