About our Facility
The City of Salem's wastewater is treated at two facilities, the Willow Lake Water Pollution Control Facility and the River Road Peak Wet Weather Treatment Facility. Willow Lake is the primary treatment facility for the City with a design average dry weather flow of 35 MGD, and a peak wet weather capacity of 155 MGD. It can be operated in trickling filter/activated sludge, conventional air activated sludge and in a combination of both processes based on flow and loading conditions. Effluent is disinfected with sodium hypochlorite solution and dechlorinated with sodium bisulfite. Solids handling consists of mesophilic anaerobic digestion and dewatering with centrifuges. Class B biosolids are re-used through land application as liquid and centrifuge cake products. The Willow Lake Treatment Facility operates as a 24/7, 365 day per year facility.


The River Road Peak Wet Weather Treatment Facility is a high rate, physical/chemical ballasted flocculation facility with ultraviolet disinfection. This facility is generally operated only when flows at the Willow Lake Facility are above 100 MGD. This remote facility is operated to prevent sanitary sewer overflows associated with high wet weather flows.
