We would like to take a moment to recognize our Wastewater Professionals! We appreciate you all and the service you provide to our community!

Our RLU Wastewater Crew stands in front of the 1,500,000 BTU/Hr. heat exchanger they monitor and maintain daily. The plant treats with Anaerobic digestion treatment where microorganisms break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, reducing sludge volume, and destroying pathogens. This process produces 13,262,662 Cu.Ft. of methane rich energy annually. The biogas is used to maintain the primary digester (240,000 gallons) at a constant temperature of 95 degrees F. The remainder of biogas is used to heat buildings and water to use for daily operations, cleaning and showers.
