Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Jackson Wastewater Treatment Plant
located on Lansing Avenue (north of town) services the City of Jackson,
parts of Blackman, Napoleon, Spring Arbor/Sandstone, Summit townships,
and the State Prison of Southern Michigan.
The wastewater coming to the plant in
fiscal year 2007-2008 averaged about 12.3 million gallons per day. Many
pollutants are removed from the wastewater in the treatment process. In
the treatment process we
produce sludge or bio solids as a result of our cleaning the water. The
bio solids are then treated. The treated solids/sludge is recycled on area farm fields or disposed
of at the county landfill. In fiscal year 2007-2008 around 3.37 million
gallons were put on area farm fields and about 2,027 cubic yards were
disposed of at the county designated landfill.
Our laboratory personnel perform many
chemical tests on the plants incoming wastewater, in plant processes,
and plant discharge. Our lab personnel also sample our bulk
township sewage discharges so as to bill the townships for the services
we perform. Our Industrial Pretreatment people inspect and sample
various facilities in our service area, they also perform enforcement
actions if required.
