The newly constructed City of Nevada Wastewater Treatment Plant (completion 2025) is an Oxidation Ditch – Activated Sludge Treatment facility with grit and screenings removal, followed by an anaerobic zone, Anoxic zone, and an Aerobic zone within the Oxidation Ditch, secondary treatment via clarifiers, and UV Disinfection. Solids are processed by an aerobic digester and land application of liquid bio-solids.
The new City of Nevada Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at 62512 270th Street, roughly 3 miles south of town. The New Facility has a greater treatment design than the old facility allowing for safer cleaner water to return to the environment.
