29yrswithaGApass Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Sometimes changes at the park go unnoticed because they are backstage. I just noticed that the ground level storage tank behind the catering area was recently removed. That water treatment center was there since 1976. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 You can see the new water treatment plant in the woods east of Zumanjaro and north of the solar panels. It looks like the new 1 million gallon storage tank wasn't completed yet. http://www.jacksonmua.com/water.html Quote There are currently two (2) water systems in Jackson Township. These are the Jackson Township MUA (JTMUA) water system (which includes the former Legler water system that was acquired by JTMUA and interconnected in 2011) and the Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGA) water system. These water systems are supplied by separate treatment and distribution systems but are scheduled to be interconnected by 2020. Six Flags Great Adventure Water System The Authority also owns and operates the water supply facilities at SFGA. The SFGA water system consists of four (4) production wells, a water treatment plant and two (2) water storage tanks: a 0.5 million gallon ground storage tank and a 0.5 million gallon elevated storage tank. This system provides potable water exclusively to SFGA. In partnership with SFGA, JTMUA is planning to construct a 2,250 GPM Advanced Water Treatment Plant and a 1 million gallon elevated storage tank beginning in 2018. These facilities will be regional and will service the northwestern portion of Jackson Township. http://www.jacksonmua.com/CapitalImprovements.html Quote The existing Six Flags Water Treatment Plant was constructed in the 1970s and is need of replacement. The Authority is able to borrow funds at extremely low interest rates and we were able to leverage this low cost financing into a cost-effective joint project between the Authority and Six Flags. In short, the Authority will construct a WTP, which it will own and operate, that will be rated for 3.24 MGD on property the Authority owns outside of Six Flags. This future facility will serve both Six Flags Great Adventure as well as the Authority’s service area including the Route 537 corridor. Construction began in June 2018 and is expected to be completed in June 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
