WAT E R R E C L A M AT I O N FAC I L I T I E S Once called "sewage plants" then "wastewater treatment facilities" and more recently "water reclamation facilities," the Town of Cary owns and operates three of them: the North Cary, South Cary, and the Western Wake Regional Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF). They have a combined total capacity to treat up to 42.8 million gallons of wastewater per day (MGD) and are staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All our facilities use a biological process that removes nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, from the wastewater to ensure treated wastewater is safely returned to local waterways. We lead the state in preserving and protecting the environment by treating wastewater to a high level and are proud that all three facilities are recognized and designated by the state of North Carolina as Exceptional Facilities for meeting and exceeding permit requirements. We are members of the American Water Works Association's Partnership for Clean Water and are committed to optimizing wastewater treatment and energy use at each facility. The following charts are a summary of permit compliance for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 reporting period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. We are pleased to report that no permit limit violation occurred during this reporting period. 10 WA S T E WAT E R A N N UA L R E P O R T 2 0 2 0 – 2 0 2 1
