Wastewater Treatment Plant
Treatment - A completely new wastewater treatment plant was placed in operation in 2000. This plant utilizes a biological process to convert pollutants to settable solids, which are then removed by settling, then dewatered and sent to the landfill. The water is then filtered, disinfected by ultraviolet light, and aerated before discharge to the West Fork Stones River. The resulting reclaimed water is of very high quality, on par with drinking water standards of the 1970's.
Reuse - Reclaimed water is utilized on-site at the treatment plant for irrigation and for plant process water. A 24-inch reuse water line has been installed from the plant to Broad Street to make this resource available for other uses.
