Construction of upgrades and improvements to ACUA’s Wastewater Treatment Plant – Solids Handling Improvements – Phase 1A, in Atlantic City, NJ, in the amount of $10,948,195.00, were financed by the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB). The NJWB is a State Revolving Fund program jointly administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (Infrastructure Bank) and uses a combination of funds provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the DEP, and the Infrastructure Bank to provide very low interest loans to borrowers for environmental infrastructure projects.
This project will provide water quality benefits by improving process equipment efficiencies associated with the treatment and disposal of wastewater biosolids for residents and businesses in Atlantic County, New Jersey.
State Revolving Fund programs around the nation provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure protecting our valuable water resources nationwide.
