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

Without proper treatment, this raw wastewater would be a massive strain on Circleville’s clean water environment not to mention downstream communities.

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.

CHALLENGES

Needless to say, the Circleville Wastewater Treatment Plant is the last line of defense against polluting our precious water resources. The staff at the Wastewater Treatment Plant would like the citizens of Circleville to know that we are dedicated to complying with clean water standards continually, maintaining a professional well trained staff, meeting the needs of our growing community, and protecting our water supplies.
