Treatment of Wastewater

 
The Water Reclamation Plant removes oxygen demanding pollutants, solids, and ammonia from the wastewater using both mechanical and biological means.

The treated water (called effluent) is then discharged into Moccasin Creek. This is regulated by the issuance of a Surface Water Discharge permit.
