Upgrade underway at WES’ Kellogg Water Resource Recovery Facility in Milwaukie

WES is committed to planning for the future, which means proactively taking steps to ensure our facilities, equipment and infrastructure are up-to-date in order to provide state-of-the-art service to our customers.

To meet this challenge, WES is currently upgrading our Kellogg Water Resource Recovery Facility in Milwaukie. The Kellogg facility is undergoing a major refurbishment that is scheduled for completion in 2020. These upgrades will put Kellogg in an excellent position to provide dependable and cost-effective services for the next 20 to 30 years.

Dedicated to being a good neighbor to the community surrounding the Kellogg facility, WES determined that one of the major upgrades needed was to increase odor control. To achieve this, covers were placed on a portion of the aeration basins, which are large tanks that play key roles in breaking down pollutants.
Additional improvements include the replacement of pipes, pumps, electrical systems and other upgrades that will bring the facility up to full operational capabilities.

WES is strategically sequencing and staging the refurbishment project in order to keep the facility fully operational during construction
