The Village of Soldier experienced chronic water supply shortages and failing on-lot disposal systems for many years. The Winslow Township Supervisors initiated a water and wastewater improvement project to address the needs of the 225 community residents.
Gwin, Dobson & Foreman designed and administered construction of the following project elements:
- Wastewater: Installation of 19,800 ft. of 8″ diameter sewers, 5,600 ft. of 2-3-inch force main, two submersible sewage pumping lift stations, two residential grinder pumping units and a metering manhole. The system connected to the Sykesville regional wastewater treatment facility.
- Water: Installation of 18,800 ft. of 8″ PVC waterline, 6,100 ft. of 6″ PVC waterline, 32 hydrants, a packaged water booster pumping station, a 75,000 gallon bolted, stainless steel water storage tank and all associated system monitoring telemetry, chlorine analyzer and alarm dialers. The system connected to Sykesville Borough facilities.
GD&F facilitated procurement and administration of 6 grant/loan programs that made the improvements affordable for project area customers. In fact, 75% of the project was funded through grants. Funding agencies included PADEP Growing Greener, Jefferson County CDBG, PADECD Competitive CDBG, PADEP Safe Drinking Water Program, Pennvest and DECD PAH20 programs. GD&F also facilitated intermunicipal agreements between the Township and Sykesville Borough.
