About about the facility:
The Lou Romano Water Reclamation Plant is located on an 18.6-hectare (46-acre) site on the south-east corner of Ojibway Parkway and Sandwich Street (with 12.1 hectares/30 acres across the street), having an ultimate plant capacity of 273,000 m3/d (60 MIGD).
The plant provides primary treatment (physical-chemical) for up to 273 million litres per day (MLD) or 60 million imperial gallons (MIGD), which includes capacity for combined storm and sanitary flows.
The plant provides secondary (biological) treatment up to 218 MLD (48 MIGD) followed by ultraviolet (UV) disinfection.
The plant receives wastewater from the Riverfront Interceptor Sewer, servicing the original core section of the City.
The second trunk sewer, the Western-Grand Marais Sanitary Trunk, presently serves the existing new and recently developed areas of South Windsor.
Sewage treatment services are also being provided for the Town of LaSalle.
