CITY OF BARTLETT

Definition

The City of Bartlett currently discharges a portion of the Fletcher Creek Sewer Basin to Memphis via the Santa Valley Sewer Line. As a part of the City of Memphis Sewer Study, this area will require a six-million-gallon Sewer Equalization Tank. The City of Bartlett has contracted with Barge Design Solutions to conduct a Sewer Flow Monitoring Study. This Study will allow the City to size the required tank, phase the tank construction, and ultimately spur development within this sewer basin.

Analysis

Barge Design Solutions has completed the flow monitoring and modeling for the MF18 Fletcher Creek Sewer Basin. They have determined that the equalization (EQ) tank should be sized at 1.5 million gallons (MG). These findings have been reported to the City of Memphis, which is currently reviewing the data. Before the design phase of the project can begin, the City of Memphis must agree with the proposed solution.

Additionally, the City of Bartlett has applied for federal funding through the FY25 Community Project Funding, supported by Congressman Kustoff, and is currently awaiting a decision. This funding would be directly applied to the design phase of the project, which is estimated to cost $5 million and will take approximately one year to complete.
