Water Pollution Control Comprehensive Facility Evaluation
Municipality where proposed project would be located: Waterbury
Project Location: 210 Municipal Road, Waterbury, CT 06708
Project Description: The City of Waterbury Water Pollution Control Department is undertaking a comprehensive analysis of current operations at the Waterbury Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) to determine an overall roadmap for a long term plan for improvements. Issues to be addressed include operational upgrades required to meet new NPDES permit limits on phosphorous and metals, long term wet weather capacity, new Title V permits that would require capital improvements to the sludge incinerator, limitations on landfilling ash at the current location, and a desire to have a more sustainable operation with improved energy efficiency and potentially on-site energy generation. The plan will also address public concerns associated with the operation of a merchant incinerator in the most economically, socially and environmentally sound manner.
