Owasso is one of the fastest-growing cities in Oklahoma. With that rapid growth came the need for a high-capacity wastewater treatment plant.
The City of Owasso’s wastewater treatment plant expansion was one of its largest initiatives to date. STV served as engineer-of-record for the project’s first phase, designing improvements to the plant’s main pump station, headworks facility, aeration basins, blowers, digesters and non-potable water systems.
STV’s design, recognized with a Grand Conceptor Award by the American Council of Engineering Companies in Oklahoma, leveraged advanced blower technology and shared anoxic zones, reducing the plant’s energy consumption by over 30% and significantly improving the plant’s effluent quality. A new aerobic digester reduces biosolids disposals by 30%, while a non-potable water system has decreased potable water usage by 60%. Owasso’s wastewater treatment plant is now delivering safer, cleaner water downstream, benefiting the local community in Owasso and beyond.
