The Town of Battle Mountain operates a state of the art wastewater treatment facility that was constructed in 2002. This plant was designed by Shaw Engineering, Reno. The facility produces a high quality effluent and includes influent screening, two sequential batch reactor tanks, an aerobic sludge digester, biosolids press and chlorine contact tank. The facility currently treats approximately 400,000 gallons per day, however, the wastewater treatment plant currently has a capacity for 800,000 gallons per day. Additionally, engineering has been completed and provisions have been made allowing the plant to be easily expanded to 1,200,000 gallons per day. There is plenty of excess capacity available to easily serve future growth in the area with this facility.
