The City of Eustis Wastewater Department is made up of 5 inter-related programs:

 

Image:  Wastewater Facilities1. Collections is the program devoted to collecting and pumping the wastewater to the Treatment plant. It consists of 42 pumping stations, which are  at various locations around the city.

 

2. The Treatment program is next. It is made up of the tanks, pumps, blowers and other equipment at the plant sites. There are now two (2) plant sites, the one at 801 Bates Avenue and the new site at Cardinal Lane which is off of State Rt. 44 East of the city. The Bates Ave. site has a capacity of 2.4 million gallons a day. The new plant has a capacity of 150,000 gallons a day.

 

3. Following the Treatment program are the Solids Disposal and Liquid Disposal programs.

 

     a. The solids are hauled to Shelly's Environmental Services for further treatment and disposal.

 

     b. The liquid is disinfected with chlorine then sent to ponds to be used to irrigate

         the city cemetery and the athletic fields at Carver Park. Some is sold to Sorrento

         Springs and Heathrow to irrigate their golf courses.

 

4. The last program is the Laboratory. The lab does most of the testing and reporting required

by D.E.P, St Johns Water Management District and other regulatory agencies who have 

jurisdiction over the Wastewater Department.
