The MBWWTP is a 13.5 MGD facility that treats wastewater using Biological Nutrient
Removal. Originally constructed in 1967 and upgraded in 1992, it consists of preliminary
treatment with a newly installed Parkson barscreen followed by 2 extended aerated
lagoons, 4 secondary clarifiers, and chlorine gas/sodium bisulfite for disinfection. The
solids were treated in a digester but are now handled with a CleanB treatment unit before
being pressed and land applied through a contract with Synagro. Designs are being
prepared for further upgrades to the facility to switch to diffused aerators in new basins
along with switching from gas chlorine to liquid for disinfection.
