Northeast Area. The long-term northeast wastewater service area has the potential to generate <br />wastewater flows that slightly exceed the capacity of the interceptors serving this area. Rather <br />than constructing an extensive capacity relief interceptor system, a potentially feasible <br />alternative is to construct a wastewater reclamation plant with groundwater recharge and <br />wastewater reuse. <br />Hastings. A new Hastings Plant is planned to replace the existing plant located near downtown. <br />The new plant will be expandable, with a long-term service area that includes portions of <br />Marshan, Nininger, and Vermillion townships. The plant site has been acquired. <br />Table 3 summarizes the planned capacity of the regional wastewater treatment plants. <br />Table 3.

Wastewater <br />flow projections are based on 60 gallons per day (gpd) per person and 15 gpd per employee <br />from new development, and gradual reduction of wastewater flow from existing development, <br />which reflects water conservation and reduction of inflow and infiltration. <br />36 <br />
