The District's John E. Egan Plant exemplifies a great advance in the art and science of wastewater treatment. The Egan Plant incorporates a novel two-stage secondary process as well as an advanced tertiary system for the removal of water-borne pollutants. It has a design capacity of 30 million gallons of wastewater per day.
In 1982, the Egan Plant was selected as the "best operated and maintained" large plant in Region V by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The Plant grounds are extensively landscaped to create a pleasant garden-like atmosphere which emphasizes the relationship between the facility and the natural environment.
