Why would we even consider building a new plant in Windjammer Park? Yuck!

The City is currently sewered to the RBC Plant so minimal changes to the conveyance system would be required. The Oak Harbor outfall is not useable and would need to be replaced. Currently, new Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) plants are built to mitigate odor and noise. An MBR plant can fit the marine theme of a Park like Windjammer and be built to look like a feature of the park. In fact, many new facilities incorporate education centers for citizens and tourists to learn more about water reclamation and advanced treatment methods. Water quality would be exceptional and could be reused. If the final decision is to build in the Park the water can be utilized to water the Park and Ball Fields or to create water features for all to enjoy. For every gallon of reuse water, the city can use a gallon of potable water is saved and that's good for everyone.
