WHEATON, IL, May 13, 2005 -- In conjunction with Beta Group Inc., RJN Group Inc. is performing flow monitoring services for the Narragansett Bay Commission in Rhode Island.
The Narragansett Bay Commission (www.narrabay.com) provides wastewater conveyance and treatment for over 360,000 people in 10 communities in the greater Providence, R.I., area. Additional facts and figures include:
-- 8,000 businesses served
-- 160 significant industrial users
-- 1,600 industrial pretreatment inspections annually
-- 15,000 water samples taken and analyzed each year
-- 64 million gallons of sewage treated per day, on average (42 mgd at Field's Point, 22 mgd at Bucklin Point).
The flow monitoring project consists of long term tracking of the commission's interceptors as part of a system-wide capacity analysis. The results of the analysis will serve as the basis of a Capital Improvements Program and provide the necessary support for future inflow and infiltration (I/I) reduction efforts. The project began in November 2004 and is scheduled for completion in September 2006.
