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 270^th 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.
