The City of Dubuque’s Water & Resource Recovery Center (W&RRC) is a secondary wastewater treatment facility.
The plant consists of screening, grit removal, primary treatment, secondary treatment by the oxygen activated sludge process, final clarification, and ultraviolet disinfection.
Sludges removed in the primary and secondary treatment processes are dewatered using dry solids centrifuges and incinerated. The remaining ash is dried and disposed of.
