| Objectives | The City of Taft owns and operates a wastewater collection and treatment (WWTF) that provides sewerage service for about 2400 inmates and employees at the Taft Federal Prison. It consists of headworks with bar screen and flow meter, an activated sludge system, chlorination system, an unlined 10.4-million-gallon capacity emergency storage pond, and eight unlined sludge drying beds. Discharge of up to 0.46 mgd is to Sandy Creek. The WWTF is in Midway Valley on the north side of Cadet Road about 1.5 mile east of Highway 33 and about 4.5 miles southeast of the City of Taft. The city completed the WWTF in 1996 to solely serve the Taft Federal Prisons. The WWTF is just east of the Prison and started treating wastewater in October 1997 when the the Prison began operating. The City operates the WWTF by contract, using the same firm (ECO Resources, Inc.) that operates its City of Taft WWTF. The City owns the dedicated sewer trunk line that connects to the Prison-owned and maintained sewer system. |
