Reduce Publicly Owned Treatment Works Surcharges with Genex Utility Wastewater Solutions

As wastewater regulations change and publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) have increasing difficulty keeping up with the demand of treating wastewater, it becomes advantageous for companies to invest in onsite wastewater capital equipment, especially in the food and beverage industry, who historically have not done this. The surcharges burdened upon companies from local municipalities pursues to rise like never before, and the costs have become such that the practice of simply paying the surcharges no longer makes any sense at this time of inflation.

Here at Genex Utility, we offer recommendations to reduce total oxygen demand (TOD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels. We consider onsite water samples, and after deep examination, work out exactly what we need to do to get measurements below the POTW recommended levels so you can reduce or even remove surcharges.

As environmental regulations change, the kind of wastewater accepted by POTWs without acquiring surcharge varies as well. Your company may have once been in compliance, but now it is acquiring surcharges. Or, the surcharges have grown definitely.
