Clifton Water Resource Reclamation Facility

About The Project

The Clifton Water Resource Reclamation Facility (WRRF) is a wastewater treatment plant owned and operated by GCSED. The plant is located on a two-acre lot, approximately 0.3 miles south of the Village of Clifton on State Route 72. It receives flow from a vacuum collection sewer system serving the Village of Clifton.

The existing plant was constructed in 1994, and the plant’s sewage treatment systems were determined to be beyond their useful life and faced regular flooding around the facility due to grading issues. The County has decided to replace the existing plant in kind, with a package extended aeration plan that will rehabilitate the sand filters, install a mechanical debris screen, install an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system, and elevate many of the existing structures to prevent flooding. In addition, the existing trailer used by employees to test plant operations and perform maintenance for the plant will be replaced with a new operations building structure.

Benefits

Replacement of the 30+ year old facility will provide years of dependable service for customers in the Clifton area.
Upgraded technology will reduce debris in the wastewater entering the treatment plant, providing greater protection to system equipment and reducing maintenance and repairs.
Rehabilitation of end-of-process filtration media will allow for more effective cleaning of the water returned into the environment
Ultraviolet disinfection equipment will remove the reliance on chemicals to complete this treatment.
A new operational control building will allow for complete compliance testing on-site and will provide a secure, modern structure to protect staff in the event of inclement weather.

Impacts to customers

Construction vehicles will regularly enter and exit the worksite on State Route 72. Customers may encounter brief construction traffic delays.

FAQS

What is a water resource reclamation facility?

Water resource reclamation facilities (WRRFs) directly contribute to a circular economy by producing clean water, nutrients, renewable energy, and other valuable bio-based materials from wastewater.

How much sewage flow does the Clifton WRRF receive?

The plant typically sees an average daily flow of 23,000 gallons.

What is an extended aeration wastewater treatment system?

An extended aeration plant consists of a steel tank that is compartmentalized into flow equalization, aeration, clarification, disinfection, and aerated sludge holding segments.
