The funding will be used to make updates to the Wastewater Treatment Plant’s ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system.
The ultra-violet (UV) disinfection system destroys viruses, pathogens, and bacteria in the effluent of the sewer treatment plant that is released into the DuPage River. The system does not use chlorine or any othRer chemicals. There are no residual effects on human or aquatic life, and it helps in supporting a robust ecosystem in the DuPage River
