WATER RECLAMATION TOUR

If your group of two or more people would like to tour the Water Reclamation Facility, you may contact Miyah Bayless at 937-333-1837 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday-Friday to arrange a mutually convenient time to get a first-hand look at the mechanical, physical and chemical processes required to transform wastewater into clean water that meets the high standards of the Ohio EPA, qualifying it for release to the Great Miami River.

You will see processes that remove grit, grease and solids from the wastewater stream, biological processes that accelerate the breakdown of wastes by microorganisms, digestion of wastewater sludge by pH and temperature control, recovery of waste gas and its transformation to usable fuel for running boilers and generating electricity, chemical disinfection of the water and the conversion of sludge into biosolids that enrich the soil for agricultural use.
