About the Northwest Plant
The Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant treats all the wastewater from the western portion of Carbondale. The facility also receives industrial wastewater from the Bicentennial Industrial Park, Carbondale Industrial Park and the industrial transfer sewer.
The industrial wastewater is initially processed at the industrial pre-treatment plant and then the effluent is further treated in the domestic plant with other residential flows. All the treated water is then discharged into the Big Muddy River or used to irrigate the Hickory Ridge Golf Course.
