Buttonwillow Wastewater Project

Buttonwillow Wastewater Project

Buttonwillow County Water District has a 50 year old sewage collection, treatment and disposal system. The wastewater treatment system uses an old IMHOFF Tank that is deteriorated and not capable of adequately treating the wastewater to meet State of California acceptable effluent discharge requirements. Nitrate levels in the groundwater ion the surrounding area have increased. The Regional Water Quality Control Board has accepted the declaration of a potential pollution problem by the County Health officer and recommended the project be placed in a Class B Priority for Small Community Wastewater Grant funds. The District plans on obtaining State Small Community Wastewater Grant funds and/or Federal funds to replace the District's existing old sewage treatment and disposal system on existing District land. The new wastewater system will provide improved treatment and disposal capacity needed to serve the existing community and meet wastewater discharge requirements.
