The City of Danville Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)is a regional facility that serves Danville, Northpoint Training Center, the Lincoln County Sanitation District and the Mercer County Sanitation District. The original WWTP, constructed in 1981, and upgraded in 1998, has a design capacity of 6.5 million gallons per day (MGD). Upgrades to the City of Danville's Wastewater Treatment Plant are necessary to meet expected future demand and maintain compliance with the Kentucky Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit limits.

Please see the full description in the supporting documents below.

Phase 1 - Complete

Improvements to the WWTP have been planned and are being implemented as a two-phase project. Phase 1 has addressed immediate needs including a new Ultraviolet (UV)Disinfection System, and constructing new Solids Handling, Operations/Control, and Screening facilities. Phase 1 also addressed aged pumps, controls andelectrical systems.

Phase 2

The final phase will expand the facility by adding a new Oxidation Ditch and two new clarifiers to increase the plant’s capacity to 9.0MGD. Construction of the clarifiers will require demolition of the old Operations/Control building. The proposed improvements would include mechanical screening facilities, a new oxidation ditch, extended aeration treatment, new clarifiers (2), flow splitter, electrical connections, associated piping, and SCADA improvements. Phase 2 will provide valuable capacity to enable City of Danville to attract industry and plan for the future economically.
