City of Gonzales Approach to Wastewater System Expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

City of Gonzales\u2019 Wastewater System Expansion Program is a phased infrastructure initiative to upgrade and expand the City\u2019s wastewater treatment capacity to support residential growth and industrial development while meeting updated regulatory requirements. The program includes construction of a new 1.0 MGD industrial wastewater treatment facility, development of a dedicated industrial wastewater conveyance system, and rehabilitation and upgrade of the existing municipal wastewater treatment plant.<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

The project will shift approximately 850,000 gallons per day of industrial ag-wash flows from the existing plant to the new industrial system, allowing for efficient treatment tailored to agricultural discharges. Following this diversion, the existing treatment plant will be rehabilitated and upgraded to meet current discharge requirements. Upon completion of Phase 2, the combined system will provide a total capacity of approximately 2.9 MGD, with future expansion of the industrial system to 3.5 MGD and incorporation of recycled water capabilities to support long-term growth through 2048.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n

The 2026 ASCE San Francisco Section and Branch award nomination period is now open.<\/p>\n

This year, all SF Section ASCE award nominations must originate at the Branch level. Submissions will first be reviewed and recognized within each Branch. Branch-level winners will then advance to the Section for further review and selection.<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

Nominations received after the deadline will not be considered for the current award cycle, but may be eligible for consideration in the following year, provided all eligibility criteria are met.<\/p>\n

ASCE is excited to to bring the 2026 Workshop on Reducing Claims on Alternative Delivery Projects to San Jose this year! For the past two years, this senior-level workshop has been held at the ASCE Headquarters on the East Coast. By moving the event to the West Coast for 2026, we are eager to provide local members with the opportunity to attend an event that may have previously been out of reach due to travel constraints.<\/p>\n
