Manatee County Wastewater Division
The Manatee County Wastewater Program includes all stages of wastewater operation. This begins with the maintenance of over 1,165 miles of collection lines, both gravity and force mains and 20,000 manholes. These lines are served by more than 547 pumping (lift) stations that move the wastewater to the plants. Three plants treat 21.4 million gallons of the County’s wastewater every day. The three plants - one is located in the North area of the County, one in the Southeast, and one in the Southwest, are served by a centralized laboratory that performs tests at all stages of treatment. Once fully treated, reclaimed water is stored at the plants, and pumped through an interconnected pipeline to customers throughout the County. Solid residuals are treated in the biosolids dryer and moved to the landfill where they are used as a soil conditioner. [more]
