The Lando Wastewater Treatment Plant is owned and operated by Chester Sewer District and serves the northeastern portion of Chester County and, thus, serves a rapidly growing area of Chester County.
The plant was constructed in the early 1970's and was last upgraded in 1989.
The treated effluent from the plant is discharged to Fishing Creek, which is a tributary to the Catawba River.
The current capacity is 500,000 gallons per day.
SCDHEC is requiring that the plant be upgraded in order to provide for the removal of phosphorous. This is a new treatment requirement that is necessary due to concerns for the water quality of Lake Wateree.
However, this upgrade will also allow for future expansion of the plant to increase its capacity. This will support continued economic development and growth in the part of Chester County served by this plant.
