The Cleveland Division of Water (CWD) operates four water treatment plants utilizing
conventional treatment with Lake Erie as the source water. The four plants supply finished water
to a common distribution system. During the 1990s, CWD implemented a capital improvement
program that renovated and expanded the Crown Water Treatment Plant (Crown). This program
updated a 1950s-vintage facility and increased the treatment capacity of the plant from 50 MGD
to 130 MGD. Several innovative ideas were used to address the issues identified by utility
personnel, while maximizing the plant capacity and minimizing the building of additional
structures. This paper reviews the planning process and how it developed the schedule for
the program, several significant challenges faced by the project team and how they were
addressed, and the lessons learned and how they were applied to subsequent improvement
projects.
