The Process
Wastewater treatment facilities collect wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial sources. The plant must treat the wastewater to meet safety standards before release. The liquids and solids are separated during treatment. Microorganisms are used to digest the materials, yielding a sludge that is largely made of the cells of these miniature cleaning crews.
While some water treatment plants simply make the sludge safe enough to dispose of, the City of Newberg continues treatment so that the material can be put to good use as nutrient rich Newgrow compost.
