Disinfection Improvements consist of the installation of a horizontal Ultraviolet (UV) system. Biosolids Improvements consists of the installation of constructed Reed Beds technology.

These improvements raised the treatment capacity of each facility to 1,500,000 gallons per day, with a treatment capacity during storm event's up to 9,000,000 gallons per day.
