Wastewater Treatment Plant

• The St. Clair River Sewer Authority waste water treatment plant, at 1244 Recor Road was built in 1983. It is operated by the Sewer Authority, which consists of four members and a chairperson, four of whom are from East China Township and one from China Township. The plant has a design capacity of the 2.20 million gallons per day. The average daily flow is currently 600,000 gallons..

  The waste water collection system consists of 26 miles of sewer pipes and 9 lift stations through which the sewage flows to the treatment plant. As the sewage passes through the plant the pollutants are removed by the various treatment processes. These include screening, settling, biological, chemical precipitation and disinfection before being returned to the river.

  The effluent meets the stringent requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

  The citizens of the Charter Townships of East China and China can be proud of the community cooperation required to construct and operate this facility.

  The Sewer Plant is normally manned between 8:00 am and 4:00 p.m. seven days a week. If you have any questions or concerns please stop in, or call the sewer plant @ (810) 329-9083
