Once complete, the project will increase system capacity at Philadelphia’s Northeast Water Pollution Control Plant and improve the quality of local waterways.
Part of the city’s Green City, Clean Waters program, the new facility allows PWD to divert up to 300-million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater and stormwater from the combined sewer system. Doing so will alleviate a bottleneck at the treatment plant that — during heavy storms — can result in discharge of partially treated waters directly into local streams and the Delaware River.
