The Moneta Regional Sewer System in Bedford County , Virginia was a landmark project for the State of Virginia in that it was the first PPEA (Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002) project in the Commonwealth whereby private financing was combined with public funding to construct a new regional sewer system. ACS DESIGN, working with Falwell Corporation, was successful in procuring $2.5 million in private funding to go along with the $8.1 million of public sector financing. The PPP process took a 48-month (conventional) project and reduced it to a time-frame of 24 months from concept through completion. The project, a backbone of the area’s sanitary sewer infrastructure, includes over 6 miles of sanitary sewer lines, four major sewage pump stations, and a 500,000 GPD wastewater treatment plant. With approximately 60,000 linear feet of horizontal alignment, this project necessitated ACS’s involvement in the procurement of extensive easements and rights-of-way. As a member of the Moneta Resource Group, ACS DESIGN was responsible for both design development and Final Design of the WWTP and portions of the collection and conveyance system. The $10,250,000 plant is in operation and owned and maintained by the Bedford County Public Service Authority.
