Contract incorporates Jacobs' data solutions to
improve sewer system performance
DALLAS, July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) was contracted
by Onondaga County, New York, to
provide program management services for the county's combined sewer
overflow (CSO) abatement and capacity, management, operations and
maintenance programs. The new contract extends Jacobs' long-term
program management role to cover the CSO program and improve sewer
system performance county-wide using Jacobs' Digital OneWater
solutions.
Jacobs has provided program management services for the county's
award-winning CSO program since 2008, overseeing more than 200
green stormwater infrastructure projects and wastewater collection
system improvements that eliminate hundreds of millions of gallons
of CSOs annually in the City of
Syracuse. Onondaga County
was one of the first areas in the U.S. to achieve Federal CSO
Consent Order closure because of progress reducing CSOs and
improving water quality.
"Onondaga County has become a
global model for successful CSO abatement by pioneering green
infrastructure and traditional engineered infrastructure solutions
alongside innovative sewer system modeling, allowing the county to
meet their federal obligations ahead of schedule and under budget,"
said Jacobs Senior Vice President Chrissy
Thom. "Jacobs has supported the county's CSO reduction
objectives for more than 15 years. We'll build on that relationship
to deliver additional sewer service improvements and long-term
water quality benefits for the community."
Under the new five-year contract, Jacobs will finalize the
county's Long-Term Control Plan for CSO abatement and provide
program management services including capital planning, preliminary
design and permitting support for the remaining CSO program
projects. Jacobs will also develop the capacity management,
operations and maintenance program to help improve operational
performance of the county's sanitary wastewater collection system.
This new program will involve system capacity modeling and
evaluation surveys to identify and address capacity constraints and
sewer defects, including the use of Jacobs' Dragonfly and
Argon, two of Jacobs' Digital OneWater suite of products to review
pipe inspection videos and prioritize repairs.
