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 FY 2018 REPORTING PERIOD
OF JULY 1, 2017 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2018. WE ARE
PLEASED TO REPORT THAT NO PERMIT LIMIT VIOLATION
OCCURRED DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD.
