Comments
The Windermere facility features state of the art technology and design processes to provide a quality effluent that will be used in public access areas at build out. One example is control of turbidity. Before the treated wastewater goes into the irrigation system the turbidity is read by a turbidity meter. This meter will reject the flow if it does not meet a predetermined criteria and direct it to a reject pond.

Once the turbidity reading is satisfactory, an automatic valve will allow the water back into the system. Another unique feature is an electric control panel regulated by computer. It can be read and allow changes in the plant operation from an off site computer located at the McNeill Technical Department over two hundred miles away.
