Work on the Visalia Water Conservation Plant Upgrades project involves the upgrade of the existing trickling filter/activated sludge wastewater treatment plant, to a 22 MGD water recycling treatment plant that will produce water in conformance with California Administrative Code Title 22.
The project is an expansion and upgrading of an existing industrial wastewater treatment plant. The existing plant remained fully operational during construction and producing effluent of the quality as being produced before construction of this project commences.

Construction work consisted of nine final sedimentation tanks, six aeration tanks, chlorine contact tank, 1.75 MG prestressed concrete digester with cleaning bed and pump stations, six tertiary filters, two dissolved air flotation units, RAS pump station, four chemical facilities, six Title 22 cloth disk filters, generator building, air compressor building, boiler house, four switchboard buildings, operations and lab building, and associated pipelines, grading, paving and site improvements.
W. M. Lyles Co. (Contractor) partnered with American Water (Operator) and Kennedy/Jenks (Designer) to successfully complete the Fillmore Water Recycling Design-Build-Operate Project. The new 1.8 MGD facility, which produced Title 22 reclaimed water, included flood protection levees, influent sewer pipelines, headworks, equalization basin, grit removal, MBR (GE/Zenon), UV disinfection, reclaimed water storage, and effluent pipelines.
W. M Lyles Co. joint ventured with AECOM to design and build the STI Project for the City of Davis. The upgrades to the existing 8.4 MGD wastewater treatment plant provide compliance with Title 22 requirements.
