The City of Sherburn has been performing monitoring testing for salty discharge at the wastewater treatment facility to meet recent National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. Total chlorides (salt) need to be reduced in the wastewater treatment facility’s effluent to the level required by the facility’s NPDES Permit. By removing hardness at the water treatment plant, the city is able to lower the chloride discharged to the wastewater treatment facility.
