Lower Beech Fork Treatment Plant

Bardstown's Wastewater Treatment Plants, also known as Sewer Plants, remove organic pollutants from domestic and industrial liquid waste so that it is safe to return to the environment. Liquid waste travels through a 75 mile collection system with 20 pump stations to the plants. There it is treated and returned to natural waterways for reuse. Town Creek Treatment Plant was originally built in 1960 and expanded in 1980 to treat 3 million gallons per Day. Lower Beech Fork, designed to treat 4 million gallons per day, was built and started operation in 2002.

Bardstown Wastewater Treatment department employs 8 full time employees. Both plants are operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Operators make sure plant equipment and processes are working properly based on readings interpreted from the meters, gauges and chemical and biological laboratory analysis of sample waste water and sludge.
