Wastewater is treated by a one MGD extended aeration treatment plant. The settled sludge is stored in 2-85,000 gallon storage tanks, where it is allowed to thicken. It is then applied to farmland. The plant currently treats about 160 million gallons a year and applies 1,500 tons of sludge to the land. This sludge is high in organic nitrogen and makes an excellent fertilizer for crops.
Wastewater is conveyed to the plant through a gravity type system of piping.
The system has four lift stations at various locations. The City currently contracts with a private firm for cleaning and televising the system.
