Here are a few pictures of our current wastewater treatment facility:
It is evident why a new facility is needed
 Any guess how old this water heater is? 10 years?15 years? It is 3 years old. |  Due to poor ventilation, rust and corrosion take over |  Truss plates that hold together trusses and the structure of the wastewater treatment plant are deteriorating |  Truss plates that hold together trusses and the structure of the wastewater treatment plant are deteriorating |

 Truss plates that hold together trusses and the structure of the wastewater treatment plant are deteriorating |  Chemicals required to treat the wastewater and a building without proper ventilation have caused corrosion nearly everywhere |  Garage door opener that has corroded due to poor ventilation |  Plate brackets that hold together trusses and the structure of the wastewater treatment plant are deteriorating |
Here's how we'll improve the wastewater treatment facilities:
1) New Headworks Building: this is the building for screening and grit removal. The building will be an environmentally controlled space that will be safer and appropriately protect equipment from advanced deterioration
2) New Final Clarifier: this will efficiently remove scum and double the final process abilities to help meet future limits of discharge as required by the WI DNR
3) New Emergency Generator: because no one wants to have a wastewater treatment facility over flow
4) Phosphorus Compliance: A multi-discharger variance will be installed to meet the WI DNR requirements of phosphorus levels
5) All equipment that can be reused from the current facility will be installed in the new facility to help control costs
6) The new facility will allow for growth as Lomira grows!
