WORK IS NOW GETTING UNDERWAY ON A NEW 31 MILLION DOLLAR PRE-TREATMENT FACILITY AT ALBUQUERQUE'S SOUTH SIDE WATER RECLAMATION PLANT. DAVID MORRIS WITH THE WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY SAYS IT'LL IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE ODOR IN THE AREA.
HE SAYS THE PRE TREATMENT FACILITY IS THE FIRST LINE OF SEWAGE TREATMENT AS ALL THE WASTE WATER IN THE METRO AREA COMES INTO THE SOUTH VALLEY PLAN. MORRIS SAYS 54 MILLION GALLONS OF WASTE WATER ENTERS THE PLANT EVERY DAY.
HE SAYS IT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY TAKE FOR GRANTED, BUT THE TREATMENT FACILITY IS A KEY PART OF ALBUQUERQUE'S INFRASTRUCTURE IN TERMS OF SANITATION AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
