The City of Wichita provides water for nearly 500,000 customers, 1 out of every 6 Kansas residents. Aging infrastructure has necessitated the design and construction of a new 120 MGD firm capacity water treatment facility, the Northwest Water Facility (NWWF). The facility will be the second-largest water treatment project in the country during construction and Wichita’s largest-ever capital project. The City has chosen to use the progressive design-build delivery method and will fund the project through Kansas State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) and a federal, low-interest loan through the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA). This presentation will discuss the technical aspects of the project (such as treatment techniques and challenges), the progressive design-build project delivery method, and the financing of the project.
