How Water Pollution Control Occurs at Our Facility
There are four components of our waste water stream that must be reduced by our pollution control plant. Solid material suspended in the water would make the river cloudy, block sunlight, contain biodegradable materials, and eventually settle to the bottom as muck. The biodegradable materials would extract oxygen from the river and reduce what is available for fish and other forms of life. Nitrogen and phosphorous are nutrients in the wastewater that stimulate growth of plants and algae. When the plants die they extract oxygen from the water as they decay. So much nutrient flows into western Long Island Sound that there is insufficient oxygen for lobsters and other marine life near the sea bottom. Finally, there are bacteria in waste water, some capable of causing disease.
