The purpose of these improvements was to meet the increasingly stringent discharge requirements and increase the facility’s capacity for water purification. The original facility was responsible for cleaning 5 million gallons of grey water each day. The renovation and modernization expanded the capacity to 8.5 million gallons per day.
