What It Is
Greene County Sanitary Engineering Department (GCSED) is upgrading the water and sewer system across its service area to soften and enhance water quality and increase system reliability. Called Greene Forward, these program improvements will be built over the next five to seven years.Why We are Doing It
Like many areas, Greene County has aging infrastructure, hard water and growing demand. Greene Forward will upgrade and add new facilities to keep delivering clean water and sewer services for the next generation.
In short, we worry so you don’t have to. Customers get clean, soft water from their tap, can flush and forget, and be confident treated water helps preserve our rivers.
How We are Doing It
The first phase will optimize the existing well network, develop the Hilltop wellfield, build new water mains and rehabilitate booster pump stations to feed those areas currently served by Dayton and Montgomery County, replace residential and commercial water meters, and expand a water treatment plant to include softened water.The second phase will expand wastewater treatment facilities and upgrade the sewer collection system.
