project description
Hayti is a small town in southeastern Missouri that has provided drinking water distribution and wastewater collection to its 2,400 residents for many, many years. The City provides these same services to its neighbor-city’s 360 residents, Hayti Heights. Much of Hayti’s distribution system was constructed of cast-iron, galvanized, and asbestos-cement pipe over many decades of piece-meal construction. The hodge-podge system has left the City with a network of undersized and poorly designed lines with a number of problems. The operator reports that most of their valves are non-functional and hydrant operation is hit-and-miss. Hayti’s staff reports numerous meter installations serving homes that are physically located as far as two blocks away. The layout has locally been called a service line “spiderweb” nightmare.
Staff for Heartland Engineering have been providing for the design needs of Hayti for over two decades. Over the years our staff have built personal relationships with the Council resulting in improvements to the City’s drinking water, wastewater, storm water and street utilities. Most recently, Heartland Engineering was selected to help Hayti administer its latest funding package through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Our firm was able to help the City to secure a $5,000,000 funding package that will allow the City to replace a large portion of the City’s outdated southern distribution system. The replacement project includes approximately 5-miles of new 6” SDR-21 PVC mains, valves, hydrants, and meter relocations. The project aims to replace many lines within the system that have required regular excavation because of age-related line breaks. In addition, the project includes basic updates to the system’s sand-filtration plant that was originally designed by Bob Summers in 2009.
Heartland looks forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Hayti to provide engineering-related services that will provide its citizens with safe and dependable utility services for many years into the future.
