The challenge of designing and building a 94‐ML/d (25‐mgd) water treatment plant to meet new water quality standards was successfully accomplished by the Bridgeport (Conn.) Hydraulic Company. A constricted site located near a highway and several dwellings called for an aesthetic architectural solution as well as the use of unusual water treatment technology. A fast‐track design and construction program achieved the desired results within the time limit set by regulatory agencies at a cost below the original estimate.
