WWTP Tour - Effluent Pumping

Effluent pumping supplements the gravitational energy of the ocean outfall under conditions of high tide and/or peak flows. Depending on tidal and plant discharge conditions, flows are transported by gravity, or pumped, to the ocean via an ocean outfall. The treated wastewater flows via a 120-inch gravity line from the effluent hydraulic box, where it is chlorinated, to the station's wet well. The effluent pumping system consists of two variable-speed centrifugal pumps one base and one stand-by. The station's effluent flows to the Atlantic Ocean via a 60-inch outfall. In the course of normal operation, the pumps automatically alternate at the end of every 12 hour period to minimize wear on any one pump.

So how else is the treated effluent used? Some we use as Non-Potable Water.
