Calendar
From Wastewater to Clean Water—The Portland Water District works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year keeping our region’s water clean, safe and healthy. At this very moment, millions of gallons of wastewater are being recycled through PWD’s four treatment facilities before flowing safely back into our environment. As part of our recent permit renewal at the East End Treatment Plant, we have committed to an adaptive management approach to reduce the nitrogen levels in our plant effluent while we continue to manage high flow events associated with wet weather. Through this effort, we help to reduce combined sewer overflow volumes in Portland by 50%.
Join us on Thursday, June 21st to learn more about the East End WWTF followed by networking at Rising Tide Brewing Company in Portland, ME. Co-sponsored by MEWEA
Join us on Monday, June 25th for a one-day specialty conference on industrial wastewater and a tour of Red Hook’s onsite treatment plant.
