Upgrade of Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant: 2022-2035

Kyle Yukumoto, PE, Vice President / Department Manager, Water & Wastewater Department, RM Towill Corporation

The Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, the largest treatment plant in Hawaii, serves an area stretching from Kuliouou Valley to Aliamanu. An average of 60 million gallons per day of sewage is currently only treated to the enhanced primary level and then discharged through an 84-inch ocean outfall located 2 miles offshore at a depth of 240 feet. The upgrades to this plant will meet the requirements of the 2010 Consent Decree, prepare the plant for climate change, and allow the facility to operate in a more environmentally sustainable manner.
