Waste Water Treatment Plant

Program Objectives

  • Prevent industrial pollutant discharges from passing throughout municipal wastewater treatment plant untreated.
  • Protect treatment plant from the threat posed by untreated industrial wastewater
  • To improve the quality of effluent and sludge
  • Educate industrial users on the effects of toxic pollutant discharges

Currently, The City of Mansfield monitors nineteen industries in Mansfield and surrounding areas.

History

1902The first ‘contact filter type’ sewage treatment plant was constructed by the City.
1918An additional plant of the trickling filter type was built to treat the sewage from the low-level areas in Mansfield.
1936Both plants were replaced by one new plant.
1939A report was submitted to the City containing recommendations for the collection and treatment of sewage that was not implemented due to the defense period, shortage of manpower, materials, and the intervention of World War II.
1942The small South Boulevards sewage plant was built.
1945Due to equipment wearing out, an increase in population, and other factors, the City’s facilities for sewage treatment became inadequate.
1948The City acquired the South Boulevards plant.
1953Floyd G. Brown and Associates of Marion Ohio were retained as consulting engineers. A review of the 1939 report was done and recommendations for improvements begin.
1960The new four MGD waste treatment plant was completed.
1984Plant improvements to increase treatment flow began and were completed in 1987.
