Kiski Valley Water Pollution Control Authority (KVWPCA) is an essential service to the local communities as we continue to operate under the current restrictions placed on all of us. Our employees have a daily emphasis on health and safety and have enhanced those efforts and policies to ensure continued operation of our facility to serve you.
The Kiski Valley Water Pollution Control Authority (KVWPCA) plant was originally constructed in 1972. The current plant provides preliminary, primary and secondary treatment along with disinfection prior to the treated effluent being discharged to the Kiskiminetas River under the terms of NPDES Permit Number PA0027626.
The newly expanded wastewater treatment facility has an average daily design hydraulic capacity of 7.0 Million Gallons per Day (MGD), with the capacity to accept and treat peak flows up to approximately 31 MGD meeting the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding combined sewer systems (CSS) and their combined sewer overflow (CSO) Control Policy.
KVWPCA initiated construction for the new expanded $32 Million plant in January 2013. This expansion included:
