Wastewater treatment is a biological process where natural bacteria and microorganism breakdown(consume) organic material and nutrient typically found in raw wastewater. Wastewater enters into the APWRF at the pretreatment or “headworks” where grit and garbage(inorganic material) is removed. From there it enters the bio-reactor tanks(carrousels) where bacteria and microorganisms await in abundance to consume nutrient and organic rich wastewater. The complete process provides a clarified product(reclaimed water) which is sent to a golf course for irrigation and to designated absorption fields. A computer SCADA system(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) provide monitoring and control of the process. A state certified lab provides quality control/quality assurance testing and analytical services required by the State.  Mosquito Control has been spot spraying Larviciding treatments and inspections have been ongoing throughout the day.
