So, how do we do it?
-
1. Waste Collection Wastewater comes from a number of sources: factories, homes, businesses & haulers.
-
2. Mix Aeration Cell Aerated water supports bacteria which consume harmful pollutants.
-
3. Aerated Settling Cell In this cell the solids are allowed to settle to the bottom. This improves water clarity & removes many toxic metals.
-
4. Storage Lagoon The water then goes to storage. We have two 850-acre storage lagoons with 5.1 billion gallons of storage capacity.
-
5. Farming The water is then used to irrigate 5,100 acres of crop land as the final treatment.
-
5.5. Soil Soil absorbs pollutants, viruses, & mechanically strain suspended solids. Bacteria within the soil consume organic matter while the roots take up nutrients.
-
6. Return 200 miles of underdrains to return the clean water to the Muskegon River.
