The Mayor and Commissioners of Emmitsburg, Maryland are requesting sealed bids from qualified contractors for the Town of Emmitsburg’s Water Treatment Plant Clarifier.

The Emmitsburg Water System (MD0100010) serves an estimated population of 3,090 (US Census) Town residents and a total of 928 service connections. The current water treatment plant, located at 8585 Crystal Fountain Road, has been on-line since 2003 and consists of a 432,000 gallon per day treatment plant, a 500,000-gallon steel storage tank, and a 140,000-gallon glass-lined tank. The plant does not have a water clarifier. The Emmitsburg water system utilizes both surface and groundwater sources from Rainbow Lake and three wells (#3, #4, #5) in the Town’s watershed. The primary source of raw water supply is Rainbow Lake, a 13-acre impoundment (33-million-gallons) located along Hampton Valley Road, approximately one mile west of the water treatment facility. The entire treatment system is gravity feed and has a capability of treating up to 600,000 gallons per day, if needed, but averages about 250,000 gallons per day. Once the water is treated, it is stored in the two tanks until distributed to Town.

Please submit at least five (5) hard copies of your bid to the Town of Emmitsburg. Attn: Town Manager, 300A South Seton Ave Emmitsburg MD, 21727 “Water Treatment Plant Clarifier Bid, Do Not Open”
