City of Polo Wastewater Treatment Plant
The new water reclamation facility was built to replace the aging and deteriorating plant that was building in the 1930’s and upgraded in the 1960’s. The existing plant could not meet their ammonia effluent requirements in their National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The new facility will now meets current effluent standards, with enough space to expand for future community needs and additional effluent standards. The new facility is designed for a 0.5 MGD utilizing the following processes: influent lift station, fine screening, grit removal, activated sludge oxidation ditch, final clarification, aerobic sludge digestion, liquid sludge storage, a lab/office/building and a headwork building.
