East China and China Water Treatment Plant
Wade Trim’s award-winning design for East China and China Charter Townships’
water treatment plant uses a state-of-the-art membrane microfiltration
treatment process; the first application of the Zenon microfiltration
system in the Midwest. The new 2.7 mgd plant will meet the two communities'
water supply needs through the year 2020. Water system improvements were
also undertaken including a concrete intake structure in the St. Clair
River, a chemical feed system to control zebra mussels at the water
intake, a 530,000 gallon ground storage tank and distribution system expansion.

Huron Shores Regional Water System
Wade Trim assisted the Huron Shores Regional Utility Authority in planning,
design and construction of a regional water system. Funded, in part, by
the largest grant ever authorized by the U.S. Economic Development
Administration, the system provides water for area communities and
development of the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base. With cooperation
of seven units of government, (Townships of Alabaster, AuSable, Baldwin,
Greenbush, and Oscoda, and the Cities of Tawas and Tawas City), the
project included both water and wastewater improvements.

Village of Milford Water System Improvements
Wade Trim assisted the Village of Milford with updating its Water Distribution
Master Plan, and design and construction of water system improvements. The
Plan proposes several improvements to enhance system reliability, pressures,
storage, looping and treatment. Improvements include replacing a stand pipe and booster
station, constructing a ductile iron water main, replacing the filter media at the iron
removal plant and building a booster station at Eagle Nest Court consisting of two 50
gpm pumps to increase pressure to area residents.

General Motors Plant Infrastructure Improvements
In 2000-2001, General Motors constructed a new V-6 Engine Plant. The new
development required an upgrade to the infrastructure in the area. Wade Trim
provided design and construction engineering services for the
construction of infrastructure improvements. The GM plants required multiple
water feeds into their facilities for industrial and domestic water use and
fire protection. A new 24-inch and 16-inch water main along one mile of
VanSlyke Road and approximately a half mile along Bristol Road were required
to meet the needs of GM and the surrounding area. In addition, a water-metering
chamber was required at each of the plants for the City of Flint to effectively
meter water used by the facilities. An existing 10-inch GM fire
suppression water main required relocation to address other underground utility
conflicts. Engineering to address drainage of storm water was also included.

City of Taylor 1996 Water Master Plan Update
A computer model was used to assess both the distribution capacity
and physical condition of the City of Taylor’s existing water system.
The model was used to determine necessary improvements to serve the City
through 2020. Roughness coefficients from the model were used in conjunction
with visual inspections to identify areas of deteriorated water main to be replaced.
