The plant is designed to remove BOD, TSS, total nitrogen, and phosphorus from its discharge. Liquid land application is the choice method of disposal and is accomplished by contract operators. To protect the Town's investment, an extensive preventive maintenance program is essential to the proper operation of the facility. Daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly schedules of maintenance assure us that the equipment and processes are well maintained. Currently, staffing consists of a superintendent, twelve positions for maintenance and operations, two laboratory staff, and a secretary.
Operators provide around the clock surveillance and expertise in process control.
Mechanics provide preventive and corrective maintenance to the main process plant, one regional pump station and biosolids facilities. Laboratory staff support operations through daily analysis and testing of wastewater processes. Laboratory staff also offers support to other divisions in the Town of Cary.
