Lakeville Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades

‹ Portfolio

Built in 1972, the Lakeville Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has long served as a vital part of the Livingston County Water & Sewer Authority’s (LCWSA) infrastructure in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The LCWSA recognized the pressing need to modernize its facilities to keep up with increasing demand and regulations.

CPL’s Infrastructure team led the effort to upgrade the Lakeville WWTP, addressing aging components that could no longer meet the community’s needs or comply with the stricter effluent ammonia limits and disinfection requirements.

The team conducted a comprehensive feasibility study and engineering analysis to inform the design of cost-effective improvements that enhanced treatment efficiency and compliance. We also secured substantial funding for the project, including $1.4 million in New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation Water Infrastructure Improvement (NYSEFC WIIA) funding, nearly $800,000 in Water Quality Improvement Program (WQIP) funding and $7.7 million in 0% interest loans through the Environmental Facilities Corporation’s State Revolving Fund.

With financing in place, the project advanced through implementation, replacing outdated components and integrating new technologies to modernize the facility. Key upgrades included the installation of a new ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system to meet the revised effluent limits for fecal coliform and total residual chlorine.

With these upgrades, the Lakeville WWTP now meets current regulatory requirements and stands ready to support future demands. This modernization not only safeguards local water resources but also enhances the quality of life for residents across the Finger Lakes region, providing a resilient foundation for generations to come.
