PreTreatment

The Industrial Pretreatment Program responsibilities are to permit, inspect and sample all industries in the North Attleboro and Plainville area that discharge industrial wastewater to the Town’s sewer system. This prevents the introduction of pollutants into the Wastewater Treatment Facility, which would interfere with the operation of the plant, including interference with its use or disposal of municipal sludge. This also prevents the introduction of pollutants into the Wastewater Treatment Facility that might pass through the treatment works or is incompatible with such works; and improves the opportunities to recycle and reclaim municipal and industrial wastewater and sludge.

The Industrial Pretreatment Program is managed by Mr. Thomas Houle.
