MSD plans to upgrade the solids thickening process at the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Sayler Park starting in mid-August 2022. Completion is anticipated by June 2024, pending weather and field conditions.
The project will upgrade the existing sludge thickening process from gravity belt thickeners to rotary drum thickeners and mitigate sludge odors in the Secondary Thickening building, among other upgrades.
