Wastewater Treatment Plants
The City of St. Charles’ Wastewater Treatment Division is responsible
for ensuring that all wastewater produced by City residents is properly
treated and disinfected prior to its return to the environment. With nine
full-time employees, the Wastewater and Environmental Laboratory Divisions
operate and maintain 14 intermediate pumping stations and 2 wastewater
treatment facilities. Both treatment facilities were designed and built
according to the standards established by the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency and are capable of treating up to 9.7 million gallons of wastewater
daily. In addition to process control and compliance monitoring, the City’s
Environmental Laboratory Division monitors industrial activities and provides
analytical data necessary to fulfill all reporting requirements as required
by the Clean
Water Act.
