The community partner for this project is the Water Pollution Control Plant. Located in South Arlington, the Water Pollution Control Plant treats 23 million gallons of wastewater each day from residences and businesses. The plant’s mission is to safely and economically process wastewater to protect the environment: especially Four Mile Run, the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Future upgrades will focus on improving solids handling and resource recovery, while at the same time reducing the County’s reliance on fossil fuels.
