Waste Water Plant

Updated in 2000, The City of Princeton waste water plant uses 2.15 million gallons per day in the advance oxidation treatment facility. The plant effluent passes through automated screening prior to grit removal.

Digesters
The secondary treatment is an advanced process, which is designed to perform nitrification, through oxidation and secondary clarification. The facility operates aerobic digesters for processing of the secondary waste sludge treatment.

The 1.5 million gallons of digested liquid sludge is belt pressed for further processing and disposal by land application.

Effluent
The effluent travels to Epperson Run. Epperson Run is considered to be a "no-flow" stream by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. It is a tributary of Big Bureau Creek.
