Belville Wastewater Treatment Plant Educational Tour
Drinking water is a very precious commodity for almost half the world. Have you ever wondered what is happening to wastewater after we flush it down by our drains and toilets? H2GO's Wastewater Treatment Plant was gifted to us in 2003 by the Town of Belville as an old package treatment plant. H2GO replaced this plant with their current extended aeration treatment plant with tertiary filters. Our Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisor and Safety Manager, Brian Griffith, takes pride in preventative maintenance, adjusting operational times for aerators to more effectively and efficiently maintain dissolved organisms (DO) levels, while also providing energy costs savings and giving H2GO more control over their DO levels. This entire system is essential a living ecosystem and we would love for you to come out and see how it works with our Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager.
