Raw sewage enters from the collection system.
Fine screens remove debris (pea sized or larger).
In the Aeration basins, we let nature’s microorganisms (or "bugs") go to work. The bugs in this process are aerobic and require oxygen in direct proportion to the amount of waste that is in the water. We have air blowers at the bottom of the aeration basins to keep the raw wastewater filled with oxygen. As the bugs eat, the waste is turned into carbon dioxide and water.
At this plant, the “mixed liquor” (bugs and cleaner wastewater) is pumped to the membrane tank where the bugs are separated from the water by membranes. The membranes act as a very fine filter. The bugs are returned to the aeration tank, so they may eat again, and the water is sent on to disinfection.
Ultraviolet disinfection is then employed which destroys any remaining organisms by sending the treated wastewater through an arrangement of ultraviolet lights.
The treated wastewater will now flow by gravity to Mill Creek where it ascends down aeration cascades, which introduces oxygen into the clean water before it enters the creek.
