The first
of the two scheduled industrial plant tours was held at the City of
Hendersonville Waste Water Facility. This plant, completed in
2002, serves the City of Hendersonville as well as portions of
Fletcher, Laurel Park & Flat Rock. The average daily
design flow is 4.8 million gallons per day, and after extensive
testing, clean water is discharged into Mud Creek. Solid
materials removed from the facility are transported to a land fill in
South Carolina, as are other solid wastes collected by the County.
