Does the plant treat more water during significant rain events?
The plant is rated at 7.173 million gallons per day (MGD). During periods of heavy rainfall/snow melt or a high water table, the plant will typically treat more than 7 MGD due to infiltration and inflow (I/I) into the sewer lines (e.g., unwanted ground water infiltrating into the sewer lines, manholes proximate to the Pennypack Creek become submerged during flooding conditions), while meeting our permit limits.
