Wastewater Facilities
Wastewater treatment is the process of removing or stabilizing elevated levels of nutrients and contaminants from wastewater. The treatment will produce environmentally safe liquid suitable for discharge to the natural environment and a solid waste (biosolids) suitable for reuse, typically as farm fertilizer.

Pumping stations
A pumping station is a component of the wastewater sewage collection system that moves wastewater to a treatment facility. Wastewater flows through the sanitary sewers to the pumping stations by gravity and is collected in tanks. The wastewater fills the tank to a predetermined level. Once the level is reached, a pump turns on to pump down the tank and move the wastewater to the downstream gravity sanitary sewer pushing the wastewater to the wastewater treatment facility.
