The wastewater generated by Arlington residents is piped to the Water Pollution Control Plant on Glebe Road. There it is cleaned and processed before it is released into Four Mile Run. The biosolids removed from the water are then trucked to farms in rural Virginia to use as fertilizer or deposited in a landfill. Find out more about the Water Pollution Control Plant, or call Phil Loar at (703) 228-6867 for more information.
