BENTON CHARTER TOWNSHIP WATER FILTER PLANT AND RAW WATER PUMP STATION

Erhardt has begun the construction of a water filtration plant and a low-lift raw-water pump station for Benton Charter Township, as part of the township’s water improvements project. The pump station will receive water through a 36-inch intake pipe that stretches one mile out into Lake Michigan. From there, water is pumped approximately three quarters of a mile to the filter plant where it will be filtered through three individual filtration units provided by Siemens Water Technologies, then distributed to the township for domestic drinking water. Erhardt began excavation at the water filter plant on July 29 and at the raw water pump station on July 30.
