Do the existing tunnels have the capacity to accommodate future projected flows at the JWPCP?
No.In fact, the existing tunnels are currently at their limits in terms of handling the peak wet-weather flows at the JWPCP.This was demonstrated in the storm of January 4, 1995, when the 670-mgd peak capacity of the existing system was reached.Future population growth will lead to more wastewater being produced in the JOS, and the MFP will evaluate the quantity of wastewater to be treated at the JWPCP.
