- 33. 26th Ward The 26th Ward WWTP is undergoing plant stabilization and a BNR upgrade. During construction, the secondary system continues to have the capacity to treat 127.5 mgd. Sufficient pumping capacity should be available to pump 170 mgd during wet weather event. In the event that additional main sewage pumps are out of service, the temporary discharge pumps (contractor’s pumps) can be utilized. These pumps have a maximum capacity of 40 mgd. A site plan and a process flow diagram for the upgraded facilities are presented in Figures 3-1 and 3-2, respectively. More Info
