Fremont Water Pollution Control Center
This $63.5 million CMAR project included upgrading and expanding the existing wastewater collection system, which was originally built in 1949. The system is a combined sewer overflow that conveys dry weather flow to the wastewater plant at approximately 6 million gallons per day (mgd). The reason for the renovation is to increase the capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Facility from 10 million gallons per day to 24 million gallons per day.
- Saved the client $6 million through value engineering.
- Doubled the city’s capacity in rain events to meet the Clean Water Act.
- Largest project in city’s history.
- One of the first projects of its kind where a general law city, such as Fremont, utilized the CMAR project management method pursuant to a recent change in Ohio law.
Project Impact

- Enhanced environmental protection and the health and well-being of all residents in the region.
