A brief description of the institution’s sustainable wastewater systems and technologies:
Wastewater is collected through the City of Tampa sewer System and treated at the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant located in Maritime Blvd. It is to become an efficient world-class utility through the use of improved technology and work practices. The treatment plant is a state-of-the-art facility that treats all wastewater discharged to the City of Tampa system. The plant has a design capacity of 96 million gallons per day, average daily flow. The final product, or effluent water, is discharged to Hillsborough Bay or used as reclaimed water for cooling and irrigation. This high quality water meets all state and federal requirements.
