Municipal Authority of Buffalo
Township
Sanitary Sewer Project
The
Municipal Authority of Buffalo Township provides wastewater and water
service to residents of Buffalo Township, Butler County.
The project area consists of the Little Buffalo Creek and Buffalo
Creek watersheds. Little
Buffalo Creek and Buffalo Creek are high quality trout stocked streams
with critical water quality concerns.
To solve these critical wat
 er
quality discharge limitations and provide a cost effective wastewater
collection and treatment system, Gibson-Thomas Engineering Co., Inc.
recommended and designed an extended aeration treatment plant using
chemical nitrogen and phosphorus removal and ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection.
This project was completed in the fall of 1998.
Gibson-Thomas Engineering Co., Inc. has been involved in all phases
of the project since its inception and design.
We provided technical and grant application assistance for the
$10.2 million dollar Pennvest Loan as well as the $3.3 million dollar
Revenue Bond to construct the project. The
total system consists of a 0.48 mgd extended aeration sewage treatment
plant, two pump stations, and thirty-three (33) miles of gravity collector
lines serving approximately 1066 customers.

Central
Indiana County Joint Sanitary Authority
Wastewater
Collection and Treatment
The
project area is located in South Central Indiana County, five miles south
of Indiana Borough and
seven miles northeast of Blairsville Borough. The area includes the Borough of Homer City and surrounding
areas of Center Township and environs.
The area is drained by Two Lick Creek and its major tributary is
Yellow Creek. The water
quality in these streams dictat es a secondary
wastewater treatment facility with no tertiary requirement.
The Authority constructed a $14.6 million dollar collection and
treatment system for the service area through a combination of RUS grants
and loans as well as Community Development Block Grants, and local
funding. The project services
approximately 2100 customers, and includes approximately 50 miles of
various diameter sewers ranging from 6" through 18", 540
manholes, 4000 feet of force main, 2 pump stations and a 0.65 mgd
Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) to provide a cost effective wastewater
collection and treatment solution for the Authority.
Gibson-Thomas Engineering Co., Inc. has been involved in all
aspects of the project from feasibility studies, Act 537 approval,
funding, design, construction, inspection and management.
This project was completed in November 1997.
