Applied Water Management will be responsible for the design, construction and operation of the new wastewater treatment plant. The plant will have the capacity to treat 127,000 gallons a day to serve approximately 1,000 people in two developments.

The company already serves the community as the contracted operator for its existing wastewater treatment plant and also operates four other plants in Long Island for Home Properties.

Donald Shields, vice president and director of technical services at Applied Water Management, said: “We have been operating wastewater treatment plants for Home Properties for several years and we are extremely pleased to be able to provide this solution to help them meet the needs of these communities.”
