This is a contract for engineering services with Hazen & Sawyer in the Amount of $671,400. Currently, the Georgetown Plant is nearing capacity and with the growth occurring now as well as projected growth in the service area, an increase in plant capacity is needed. Ultimately, the plant will need to expand from 2.45MGD (currently) to 3.8-4 MGD.
