Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant Helps Deliver Clean Water to Over 1 Million

New York State selected Veolia North America to design, build, and operate (DBO) a new 1.5-million gallons per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant in Hillburn, NY.

During the summer and other dry, drought-prone months, a public well field pulls all of the water out of the Ramapo River, leaving the river with little to no flow of its own. This prevents the Ramapo Valley’s sole-source aquifer from providing water to more than a million residents.

The challenge for Rockland County is improve the protection of its river basin while remaining within costs and providing quality service despite changes in climate during the year.
