Plant/Process Description:
The Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant (TWWTP)
is located at 5926 Hwy 55 in southern Durham
County. The wastewater collection system,
comprised of approximately 105.5 miles of sewer
lines and 1,742 manholes, serves customers inside
and outside the City limits, including the
northern part of the Research Triangle Park (RTP)
in Durham County.
The TWWTP was established in the 1960’s and has
had improvements completed in the 1970’s, 1980’s,
and 2000’s. The latest upgrade significantly
reduced the discharge of nitrogen and phosphorus
into the Cape Fear River basin.
The TWWTP utilizes a five stage Biological
Nutrient Removal (BNR) system that discharges
into Northeast Creek in southern Durham County.
The upgraded facility is permitted by the state
to discharge 12.0 million gallons per day. In the
fiscal year 2006 the plant treated 1,485,550,000
gallons of wastewater, or an average of 4.07
million gallons per day.
TWWTP operations is currently contracted to
United Water Hydro Management. Through the
contract with Durham County, United Water
provides staff, maintenance, and the expertise to
maintain continuous service to the County’s
customers. United Water operates the treatment
plant and collection system within the state
approved permit guidelines for the wastewater
plant, collection system, and storm water
runoff.
