Environmental Benefits:
In the past it was difficult to stay under the permit limits for daily maximum flow for the treatment system. The added recirculation system improved the efficiency and reduced the flow through the system to the point where it is no longer difficult to stay in compliance. As a result of improved operation, the daily water usage has been reduced 60%.
