Highly trained, experienced, State-certified treatment plant operators employed by the City of Loganville are on duty each day to oversee treatment plant processes, and react promptly to any unusual condition. Many controls of treatment processes are automated requiring a great deal of technical expertise. Other processes require manual controls which rely on the operator’s frequent physical presence to observe conditions and make adjustments. Weekends, holidays, and at the wee hours of the morning…operators are carefully monitoring every aspect of the facility.

Reliability at the Water Quality Control Facility is very high. The plant is staffed each day and is monitored through our SCADA system 24 hours a day by operators who are able to respond to any situations that arise. Critical treatment processes are designed with redundant equipment, which means that if a mechanical or electrical component fails, a spare is waiting to take its place. Mechanical and electrical staff members are on-call 24 hours a day in case of a failure that requires their immediate assistance. Maintenance staff diligently cares for the equipment to predict and prevent breakdowns, further adding to the reliability of the facility.

Our on-site instrumentation provides information and records data on the water quality around the clock. Information is collected and stored automatically in a database for evaluation by our operational process staff. Samples are collected and analyzed by certified laboratory technicians in our on-site, State-certified laboratory. This information is also added to our operational database. Independent laboratories periodically verify quality as well.

The Water Quality Control Facility remove impurities contained in wastewater so treated wastewater can be safely returned to the environment. This same stabilization process occurs in nature to break down wastewater into its most basic components of carbon dioxide and water. Common methods of treatment include physical, biological and chemical treatment steps to stabilize the wastewater. The City of Loganville’s Water Quality Control Facility is designed to accelerate and control nature’s process to insure proper treatment is provided.

A portion of treated wastewater can be re-used for irrigation on our LAS hay fields or discharged to the Big Flat Creek.
