Western Wayne Regional Sewage District (WWRSD) WWTP Expansion



Wessler Engineering is a civil and environmental engineering firm based in Indianapolis that specializes in wastewater, drinking water and stormwater projects. Western Wayne Regional Sewage District (WWRSD) has been a Wessler client for over 20 years. Wessler has worked on both the district’s collection system and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). WWRSD serves the communities of Cambridge City, Mt. Auburn and Dublin Indiana. The Sewage District’s WWTP is located in Cambridge City and is currently rated for 0.864 million gallons per day (MGD). In additional to residential and commercial waste, the WWRSD WWTP also receives flows from the Gateway Industrial Park located just south of I-70 and SR 1. The Industrial Park’s largest discharger is Sugar Creek Packing Company (SCPC), which sends over 200,000 gallons per day of pretreated waste to the WWTP via the Industrial Park Lift Station. SCPC plans to expand its facilities in the next year and Wayne County hopes to attract other businesses to the Industrial Park, which will increase the flows seen at the WWRSD WWTP. The objective of this project is to evaluate the existing WWRSD WWTP and then determine a cost effective and appropriate design to meet the current and future wastewater needs of the community.
