Wastewater Treatment Plant

ABOUT

Circleville’s sanitary sewer system carries approximately 1.7 million gallons of wastewater to
our treatment plant every day. This wastewater is generated by several different sources.
One of those sources is your home which generates about 200 gallons of wastewater per day,
and is joined in the collection system by several thousand gallons coming from businesses,
industries, and institutions.

WATER CONTAMINANTS

Before the wastewater reaches our plant it is in its “raw”
stage, which means the water is full of pollutants such as:

  • Bacteria
  • Grit
  • Heavy metals
  • Oil and grease
  • Trash
  • Much more

Water-containment

Without proper treatment this raw wastewater would be a massive strain on Circleville’s
clean water environment not to mention communities that are down stream.

WATER DISCHARGE

This is where our treatment plant rises to the challenge by using several
different treatment processes to remove 99% of all pollutants and make the
water safe for discharge into the Scioto River.
