Wastewater
MSD operates seven major wastewater treatment plants in Hamilton County. The Mill Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Lower Price Hill is the largest, treating 114 million gallons of wastewater a day. Three additional plants serve developments at Fort Scott, Mayflower Estates, and Wesselman Woods. The Wesselman Woods package treatment plant was decommissioned in 2010. The figure below shows how much incoming flow was treated by these treatment plants in 2009.
Condition Assessments Put Maintenance on Track for the Long Term
With a complex underground system that cannot be observed first hand, pipes must be inspected using closed-circuit television technology to produce a high-quality record of the collections system. MSD televises approximately 300 miles, or nearly 1.6 million feet, of sewer each year. With this information, MSD is able to assess the condition of pipes in the systems and evaluate priorities for rehabilitation or replacement, while increasing staff productivity.
