Town of Clayton Water Reclamation Program

The Town of Clayton is making significant strides in enhancing our wastewater infrastructure through the most extensive project in our history. Currently, construction is underway on various project components, with an anticipated completion timeline spanning the next three years. Broadly, the construction process encompasses a range of activities, including surveying, vegetation removal, stringent environmental controls, earthwork, precise concrete work, the assembly of facility components, the arrival of substantial equipment, electrical installations, rigorous testing, commissioning procedures, and ultimately, the meticulous restoration of the site.


This construction effort will be carried out in carefulyy planned phases for each program component, potentially allowing som activities to proceed concurrently or in a dynamic iterative fashin, contiengent on thier respective locations. Assisting the town in this ambitious endevaor is HDR, serving as a dedicated project advisor.
