The Papillion Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Bellevue, NE, is one of two major plants serving the Omaha Metropolitan Area. It services a wide range of areas, including Bennington, Boys Town, Elkhorn, Papillion, La Vista, Omaha, Bellevue, and Offutt Air Force Base, and serves approximately 450,000 people with an average daily flow of 60 million gallons per day.
The plant utilizes an integrated network of sewer lines to collect and treat wastewater, separating solids from the water through a series of processes. The organic solids are then broken down by bacteria in an Anaerobic Digester, producing Biogas that is used to generate electricity for the plant. Additionally, the facility is also home to the City of Omaha's composting operations, where yard waste is composted and offered for sale to the public as Oma-Gro.
