Water Control Gates Remain In Place At W.B. Casey Water Reclamation Facility Even After Expected Replacement

The W.B. Casey Water Resource Recovery Facility, located just south of Atlanta, installed Hydro-Gate water control gates when it was completed in 2004. Originally, the gates were installed for manual operation, but because they were so large, the facility decided to retrofit and add actuation. Since their installation, the gates have operated smoothly. However, in 2015, newly discovered damage in the facility's pipeline system raised concern. 

The utility's force main began to deteriorate, and the gates became inoperable. Considering the environment around them was destroyed, the facility expected to have to rebuild or replace the gates. However, the facility soon discovered that the gates had suffered no damages. Read more about the high quality of these valves and how they have helped the facility.
