The Morgantown
Utility Board (MUB) sanitary system serves 15,003 customers.
Sewer system facilities include 235 miles of pipelines,
a 12 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) at Star City, 13 lift stations, and 40
combined sewer outfalls (CSOs). A $6.5 million upgrade
to the WWTP was completed in 2008. This project included the addition of a third secondary clarifier (resulting
in a revised plant capacity of 12 MGD), the replacement
and update the belt filter presses, and SCADA system.
The project was the first of several proposed
in MUB's long-term control plan (LTCP). The LTCP proposes
improvements that will cost $77 million (in 2001 dollars),
over the next 20 years. An update to the LTCP will be completed in 2009, and will identify and prioritize additional long and short term wastewater plant and system improvements.
