Advanced Treatment

The project includes two treatment facilities: Orlando’s Water Conserv II Water Reclamation Facility and Orange County’s Sand Lake Road Wastewater Treatment Facility, which have been upgraded and expanded to 25 mgd and 31 mgd, respectively.  Both treatment facilities are designed to produce virus-free reclaimed water suitable for citrus irrigation and safe for human contact.

Advanced secondary treatment to reduce turbidity and remove viruses is achieved through dual-media (carbon and sand) filtration and chlorination.   Because of the strict treatment requirements, extensive pilot testing of the filtration and disinfection processes was performed.   Both facilities were designed to meet EPA Class I Reliability Requirements to ensure a clear, odorless, and virus-free product.
