Wastewater Treatment Plant
Eagle Sewer District's wastewater treatment facility is located one mile west of Eagle on the north side of the Boise River's north channel. The treatment plant is an aeration lagoon system. In the aeration lagoons, naturally occurring bacteria consumes the waste, breaking it down to a stabilized form of water called effluent. This waste treatment process produces a small amount of biosolids, which is not removed from the facility. The effluent water is then pumped to the West Boise Wastewater Treatment facility located off Joplin Road, north of Chinden Boulevard. West Boise provides the final or "tertiary" treatment and the water is discharged to the south channel of the Boise River. As the first phase of the new facility Plan, the biosolids will be removed and the lagoon liners are being replaced. This work should start in July 2007
