 With over 180 Group 1 wastewater facilities in the State of
Illinois, the City of Lincoln wastewater plant was one of 6 sites to
earn the nomination. Group 1 plants are sites that treat more than 1
million gallons of sewage per day.
The nomination was submitted by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency and final awards will be presented at the Illinois
Association of Water Pollution Control Operators annual conference
in April 2016 in Springfield, IL.
The City’s treatment plant has been operated by American Water’s
Contract Services Group, formerly known as Environmental Management
Corporation (EMC), since 1990. This will be the third such
nomination for the City’s treatment plant, with others coming in
1997 and 1999.
“We are exceedingly proud of the City’s wastewater treatment plant
management and crew. This distinction is evidence of the type of
first class operation that American Water Contract Services provides
to our residents,” stated City Administrator Clay Johnson.
