Water Treatment Plant: What is drinking water treatment residuals management?

Currently, the existing water treatment plant at Old Oaken Bucket Pond discharges an average of 30,000 gallons of residuals per day to the Town’s sewer system. The quantity of residuals that are produced each day are a function of the quantity and quality of water treated and the level of treatment provided. The new plant will have the ability to treat more water than the existing plant during times of critical water demand and will provide a greater degree of treatment. With the more effective treatment and additional capacity provided by the new plant the estimated residuals production will average 100,000 gallons per day.
