Water and
Sewer
A 1 mgd filtration plant at the Park provides high-quality drinking
and process water for Park customers and 2.3 million gallons of
daily finished water storage. An additional 1.9 mgd of source water
is permitted for use in the Park. The Authority's source, a 330
million gallon reservoir located 10 miles off-site, provides a high
quality drinking water supply.
The
Park's wastewater treatment plant, served by a combination of gravity
and force mains, can provide up to 500,000 gallons per day of treatment
capacity. Industrial pretreatment for non-domestic strengths of
sewage is required. The PA Department of Environmental Protection
has already approved sewer extensions to complete the build-out
of the Park, and plans are underway to expand treatment capacity
to up to 1.2 mgd when needed.
Earth Tech,
a national leader in contract operations, maintains the
water and wastewater systems at the Park and can provide design,
build, finance and operations options for customer needs.
