Progr
am Description:
The wast
ewater utility collects municipal wastewater from approximately 18,000 customers within the service area. Generally, the service area includes the City of Redlands, unincorporated areas of the county (Mentone and Crafton areas), and the San Bernardino County Donut Hole area.
The wastewater utility includes the operation and maintenance of approximately 250 miles of sewer mainline, one sewer lift station, and a wastewater treatment plant capable of treating approximately 9.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of influent raw water. The wastewater treatment plant, originally constructed in 1962, includes a water quality laboratory where routine regulatory compliance tests are performed. In 2004, the plant became the largest membrane bioreactor facility in the West Coast of the United States, producing an average of 4.0 million gallons per day (mgd) of high-quality tertiary effluent (reclaimed water). Today, the plant continues to process secondary wastewater, directing it to percolation ponds to recharge Bunker Hill Basin B, and treats tertiary wastewater for recycling purposes, particularly for irrigation and cooling tower water for a local generation plant.
The wast
ewater budget includes all expenses required to operate and maintain the entire system, including system maintenance, wastewater treatment and disposal, recycled water system operation and maintenance, laboratory operations, and wastewater regulatory compliance.
Progr
am Objectives:
• Prov
ide reliable wastewater collection and treatment services in a fiscally responsible manner. • Proactively inspect collection system facilities to identify and plan wastewater system rehabilitation and replacement capital projects.
• Clean and maintain the entire wastewater collection system mainlines every three (3) years. • Maintain a 24/7 Emergency Response Team to r educe the potential for Sanitary Sewer System Overflows.
• Educate residents and businesses about problems associated with fats, oils , and grease (FOG) discharges into the wastewater collection and treatment system and implement a FOG reduction program.
• Establish a regulatory compliance program and pretreatment program for significant industrial dischargers.
• Meet or exceed wastewater treatment and discharge requirements, and recycled water service regulatory requirements.
