What happens to the sludge that is produced at the Wastewater Treatment Plant?
Every year, approximately 500 tons of sludge is produced and converted in the treatment process from an undesirable waste to an environmentally-friendly soil enhancer. The City currently has 1,200 acres of private farm land permitted for the application of the treated sludge. At these application sites, various crops are grown, and the nutrients in the sludge are used by the crop just as commercial fertilizer is used.
