Water Treatment Plant Upgrade

About The Project

Greene County Sanitary Engineering Department (GCSED) supplies water to approximately 17,000 customers within three major regions of their service area, including the Northwest Regional, Eastern Regional, and Southwest Regional water systems.

This project consists of upgrading and expanding of the Northwest Regional Water Treatment Plant (WTP), which supplies water to both the Northwest Regional and Eastern Regional water systems. The treatment process upgrade will include the addition of softening technology via reverse osmosis membrane treatment and expansion of treatment capacity to meet current and future water demands providing 12 million gallons of softened water per day.

Benefits

  • Adds softened water, which may reduce monthly softening expenses for consumers
  • Expands treatment plant capacity to meet current and future water demands
  • Increases water system redundancy and operational flexibility

Impacts to customers

Beginning in spring 2022, residents will experience some localized construction traffic near the Northwest Regional WTP. Construction noise will be limited to normal operating hours.
