Wastewater Treatment Facility


City of Tiffin, 1999/2000 Tiffin Wastewater Treatment Facility


The City of Tiffin was experiencing difficulty meeting permitted effluent limitations and would not be able to meet new water quality based Ammonia Nitrogen limitations. HFC provided the design of an extended aeration sludge treatment plant designed to treat a peak organic load of 665 lb. of BOD5/day to enable compliance with the new regulations. HFC was successful in the application and award of the IDNR – State Revolving Fund Loan for the construction of the wastewater treatment plant rehabilitation. HFC performed the design, letting, and construction administration for the wastewater treatment facility. Project cost $1,570,000.
