Village of Hortonville Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
521 West Cedar Street (920) 779-4086
WWTP Operator: Carl McCrary
Located on the east bank of Black Otter Creek the Village of Hortonville WWTP experienced a major construction upgrade in 1982. This new facility was dedicated on December 5, 1982, replacing the original WWTP constructed on the same site in 1949.
The WWTP is a secondary treatment facility utilizing rotating biological contactors as the secondary process. Phosphorus removal is accomplished through chemical addition. The 1982 WWTP footprint was unaltered until 2004, with the addition of a mechanical bar screen used to capture material larger than 0.25 inches that inhibits optimal treatment operations. The average design flow is 0.5 million gallons per day (MGD), with peak flow capabilities of 1.2 MGD (typically only seen during periods of extended wet weather). The treated wastewater is discharged into the Wolf River via a force main. Solids are aerobically treated in digesters before this nutrient rich material is injected into agricultural fields for use as a soil supplement.
The goal of the Village staff is to provide cost effective wastewater treatment and environmental protection for the citizens of Hortonville and the Wolf River Basin. Facility tours are provided for the public upon request.
