CAN DO began the planning phase for the ultraviolet disinfection system in 2013 in order to eliminate the discharge of sodium bisulfate and sodium hypochlorite into the waterways from the wastewater treatment plant. The plant is equipped to treat up to 1 million gallons per day of sanitary sewage. It serves only the Humboldt Industrial Park, which consists of 60 industries employing approximately 10,000 people at peak periods of the year.
