Passaic Valley Water Treatment Plant Tour

Participants toured the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission’s treatment facility, one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the country, serving over 1.3 million people across northern New Jersey. Plant operators explained the treatment process from intake to discharge and discussed ongoing upgrades to reduce combined sewer overflows into the Passaic River and Newark Bay.

Highlights from the tour:

• Walkthrough of primary and secondary treatment processes
• Discussion of combined sewer overflow mitigation projects
• Views of the plant’s outfall into Newark Bay
• Q&A with plant operations staff

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission for hosting.
