The Alexandria Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) provides state of the art technology
to provide protection to the "waters of the state" such as Pipe Creek. All waste
water from connected households flows through Alexandria's sewers and is carried
to the WWTP for treatment. Once treated, the water discharged into pipe creek is
cleaner than the creek water itself.
Recently, with the help of Randy Hamilton of Hamilton Environmental, and our dedicated
employees - the WWTP has been able to treat all of the City's Waste Water without
violation of State Requirements, even while we remain at our maximum treatment capacity.
Several major improvements have been made to the process, procedure, and facility.
These improvements will conclude with the WWTP Expansion Project, expected to Bid
in December.

The current WWTP expansion project (along with new sewers in the Washington St. project) will allow the City to treat almost all of the Storm Water flows that, from time to time, surcharge our existing sewers and cause Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO's). CSO's are events where,
during excessive rains, sewage may overflow from our sewers into Pipe Creek. The WWTP expansion project will provide for additional treatment at the plant to treat up to 6 Million Gallons Per Day. The net result of this project will be cleaner, safer water in our Rivers producing a healthier environment for fish, wildlife, and recreation.
