Overview
The Durham WWTP is located on route 4 just a short drive from campus on the Oyster River. It serves both the Town of Durham and the University of New Hampshire. It was originally built in 1932 and underwent upgrades at three different times, first in 1977, and later in the 1990s and the 2000s. Because the Durham WWTP discharges to a surface water body, it is permitted through the EPA Nand helps to ensure environmental and public health by limiting what is discharged, monitoring and reporting. The design flow of the Durham WWTF is 2.5 MGD, this is the volume of flow that the facility was designed to treat everyday accounting for possible increases in the town’s population. The facility can handle a maximum flow of 7.5 MGD, this is the largest volume of the flow the facility could treat in one day if needed.

Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The 2.5
mega-gallons per day facility serves to treat the wastewater from the town of Durham and the
UNH. Wastewater treatment facilities exist in order to remove environmentally damaging and
potentially harmful waste materials in used water before releasing it back into the environment.
The facility therefore is important to the local community as it protects the people and their
surrounding environment from damage. The video was uploaded last September of 2020.
As with any industrial facility with many moving parts, constant monitoring and
maintenance by humans with the aid of computer and other tools is essential for optimal
