Long-Term Vision to Fight Advancing Water Resource Challenges – Todd Creek WWTP Design

2024 Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Science™ Awards Competition Winner - Honor Award in Design

Webinar Summary

The 60-year old Todd Creek Wastewater Treatment plant was experiencing challenges from aging infrastructure, growth and development in the watershed, changes to the facilities’ water quality permit, and impacts from updated flood mapping in the regions.  These drivers caused the City of Kansas City, Missouri, and the entity that manages its water, KC Water, to determine that it would need a new wastewater treatment plant.  As project leader of the cross-functional team supporting the effort, Burns & McDonnell developed the project in a way that reduces land use, minimizes energy and chemical consumption versus traditional approaches, and will produce a cleaner, more environmentally friendly effluent. The $96 million Todd Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is being designed to treat up to 4.6 million gallons per day, using a first-of-its kind treatment technology for the State of Missouri.  By improving the effluent water quality, the project will create more opportunities for outdoor recreation and parks, further supporting the community’s booming development while managing natural resources.  

This webinar will provide information on drivers for this project, many of which are common challenges for water utilities across the country, and describe how the project team evaluated solutions and developed the design for this new advanced facility.
