Our new Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is currently in the final stages of construction and is scheduled to begin operations in a few months. This state-of-the-art facility is a significant upgrade from our existing plant, offering more than double the capacity, enhanced treatment processes, and improved environmental compliance.

Advanced Treatment Processes: The plant incorporates the latest technologies in wastewater treatment, ensuring more efficient removal of contaminants and higher quality effluent. Key features include:

Primary Treatment: Enhanced mechanical and biological processes for the initial removal of solid and organic materials. Secondary Treatment: Advanced aeration systems and biological reactors that further break down organic matter and nutrients. Tertiary Treatment: Final polishing processes, including filtration and disinfection, ensuring the treated water meets the highest environmental standards.

Environmental and Community Benefits

Improved Water Quality: The enhanced treatment processes will significantly reduce the levels of pollutants in the discharged water, contributing to cleaner local waterways and better environmental health.

Sustainability: The plant is designed with energy-efficient technologies and processes, minimizing its carbon footprint. It also includes facilities for sludge treatment and resource recovery, promoting a circular economy.

Community Support: The increased capacity ensures reliable service for our growing community, preventing overflows and untreated discharges. The modern design also addresses odor control, improving the quality of life for nearby residents.

Timeline and Future Prospects 

Completion and Startup: The construction is in its final phase, with testing and commissioning scheduled to be completed in the coming months. Full operational status is expected shortly thereafter.

Ongoing Improvements: Post-startup, the plant will continue to undergo optimizations and upgrades as needed to adapt to future demands and technological advancements.
