How Old is the Wastewater Treatment Plant?

White in-ground tank on left was the Primary Digester (abandoned in 1983). It now is holding the metal lid that was originally covering the Biosolid Tank (built in 1973) on the right until the supports rusted and failed.

Wastewater Treatment Plant

The City of Sandpoint’s wastewater plant has served our community for over 70 years. Much of the equipment, built in the 1950s–80s, is at the end of its life. Pumps, clarifiers, and electrical systems are at the end of their useful life and increasingly prone to breakdown. The plant can no longer reliably meet today’s needs or keep pace with state and federal requirements to protect local waterways.
