Before 2009, anyone passing the advanced wastewater treatment plant in Dunedin, Fla., saw a rusting and damaged chain-link fence in front of a facility with its clarifiers and processing equipment in full view. Today, they see a site that is a source of civic pride and an icon of the city's concern for aesthetics.
"For several years the city wanted to improve the facility's appearance," says plant supervisor Brian Antonian. Transformation of the image began with construction of an 8-foot-tall wall that nearly encloses the entire plant (6 mgd design/4.5 mgd average).
