- The Mattabassett District employs a sophisticated process to remove dissolved solids, organic material, and nutrients in wastewater. This process regularly removes at least 98% of these pollutants. Between May 1st and October 15th, the District disinfects the effluent with Sodium Hypochlorite before discharging to the Connecticut River.
- Accepts and treats septage and grease from septic tank cleaning trucks and liquid biosolids from other wastewater treatment plants.
- The District maintains a nine-mile concrete trunkline sewer which ranges in size from 60” to 72” in diameter. This trunkline conveys wastewater from New Britain, Berlin, Cromwell, and Middletown.
- Mattabassett uses 35,000 gallons of potable water each day. More importantly, we use over one million gallons of our own treated water saving more than $125,000 each month
