Sewer odor control station to be built at Fulton Parkway, Hawes Road

Paying $94,502 for a station at Fulton Parkway and Hawes Road to meter chemicals counteracting production of gases that cause sewer odors was recently approved by the Queen Creek Town Council.
The job order with B&F Contracting Inc. was part of the Dec. 4 consent agenda.
The odor-control station will be used to store bulk chemicals in a storage tank that can be metered out to the town’s sewer system, Paul Gardner, the town’s utilities director, said in a memo to the council.
“Once inside the sewer system, the chemicals coat the pipe surfaces and mix with the wastewater in a manner that counteracts the production of hydrogen sulfide gases that are responsible for sewer odors. The additional benefit is that H2S gases are the primary cause of prematurely wearing of sewer infrastructure and the reduction of gases aids in maintaining longevity of the system’s materials,” he said.
The job order includes construction of a holding tank, concrete pad, connection to water and sewer services, eye-wash stations and other improvements required for site access and management, Mr. Gardner said.
