Step 1: Wastewater arrives at the plant and goes through a pretreatment phase and all of the solid waste is removed.

These solids are turned into "Biosolids". Biosolids are a clean, safe, and viable organic product (in liquid or solid cake form), rich in nutrients, that are beneficially reused by the agricultural community for healthy crop production.

Step 2: The water is then treated with aerobic bacteria, whose job is to eat the remaining "suspended solids" (small particles that weren't filtered out of the water). This process lasts for 12 days.

Step 3: Disinfection is the final part of the treatment process. Halton uses ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the water because it doesn't have a negative impact on the environment like chemicals.
