BROCKTON, MA — Veolia Water North America has signed an agreement to design, build and operate a New York wastewater treatment plant, according to a May 30 Business Wire press release.
The plant will be located in Hillburn, NY, and will service residents of western Ramapo, including the villages of Sloatsburg and Hillburn, the release said.
The new facility will feature an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system that will produce effluent that exceeds all environmental wastewater quality standards issued by the federal and New York governments; the facility will also be completely enclosed for odor control, the release said.
According to the release, the $45 million project will begin immediately and construction is expected to last approximately two years.
