A wastewater treatment facility in New Hampshire is taking the streets by storm with a brand-new environmental catch basin cleanings system.In a region where difficult winter driving conditions are routine, the City of Dover commonly uses traction sand. Until now, that sand was primarily collected in the city’s stormwater catch basins and forgotten.Now, on the same ground as the city’s wastewater treatment plant is a new facility housing that recycles traction sand for reuse. There are three distinct operating zones: a catch basin pretreatment and storage area, an automated catch basin cleanings treatment system, and a set of dewatering boxes.
