During DRB’s Jan. 24th meeting, the DRB
voted to approve the addition of the cooling tower
structure proposed by Aqua, VA to be added to the current RELAC
facility. The cooling towers are intended to increase the efficiency of
the operation and eliminate the need for the diesel generator at times
of low lake water levels. The proposal includes sound proofing/noise
reduction features designed to keep any additional plant noise levels
down.
Aqua, VA will now have to decide whether to green light the project. If they do, they will start the permit process and then hope to start construction in the Spring with the goal of being operational before a diesel generator becomes necessary this coming season.
