By 2030, how many gallons is the city expected to treat daily?

The expectation that the city will treat 1.8 billion gallons of wastewater daily by 2030 is based on projected population growth and urban development, which drive increases in wastewater generation. As cities expand, the capacity of sewage treatment plants must also grow to accommodate the larger volumes of wastewater produced by the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

The 1.8 billion gallon figure reflects a strategic plan aimed at ensuring sufficient infrastructure is in place to maintain public health and environmental standards, while simultaneously addressing the challenges posed by climate change and sustainability. Treatment facilities are typically designed with future capacity in mind, taking into account anticipated increases in water consumption and wastewater generation.

This projection considers that advancements in treatment technology and operational efficiency may also play a role in handling higher volumes of sewage effectively by that time. It emphasizes the importance of continuous investment in and upgrading of sewage treatment infrastructure to meet future demands while reducing environmental impacts.
