TOWN OF WILLIAMSTON 
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY 
& 
COLLECTION SYSTEM 
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 

The Town of Williamston operates and maintains a 2.0 million gallon per day Wastewater Treatment Plant. This facility is an oxidation ditch which utilizes an activated sludge biological process with preliminary treatment units to remove sand, grit, plastics, etc. The facility produces sludge byway of the biological process that is settled out in the clarification process which allows the sludge to be removed and stored or returned to the biological process while the clean water is directed from the clarifiers through the disinfection process, disinfection chemical removal process and reaeration process. The stored sludge is eventually hauled away and used on pasture land in a nutrient enrichment program. After this treatment process the treated water is discharged to the Roanoke River and reused by our environment. 
The Town of Williamston collection system consists of approximately sixty five miles of primarily gravity flow sewer mains, 3 miles of force mains, thirteen pumping stations and associated service laterals. This system conveys untreated wastewater to the 2.0 mgd activated sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant designed to remove no less than eighty-five percent of pollutants by means of biological treatment. Treated effluent is discharged from this point into the Roanoke River. 

Exceeding the limitations placed on the Wastewater Treatment Plant by the regulatory authority results in the system being considered non-compliant. This type of occurrence could be followed by issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV) by the regulatory authority (N.C. DEQ/Water Resources) and possibly a civil penalty. During this reporting period there were no such occurrences at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. 
The Town of Williamston encourages customers to avoid washing cooking fats, oils and grease used in the home down the drain as this contributes to the buildup of grease in the sewer system leading to sewer blockages that can result in spills from the sewer system. These spills can have a negative effect on the environment and are quite expensive to repair and clean up. The Town of Williamston has a grease trap inspection program in place that al lows us to monitor and inspect local businesses in an effort to guard against the possible discharge of untreated wastewater as a result of excessive oi I/grease from those locations. There is no such program in place for the Town's residential customers so therefore it must rely on the goodwill and cooperation of our citizens to help control the disposal of fats, oils and grease in the sewer collection system by disposing of their cooking fats, oils and greases in their household trash. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with this matter. 
Where spills are concerned, the Town of Williamston's Public Works Department continues to make every effort to make the necessary repairs as quickly as possible upon learning of such occurrences. Assistance received from the public in learning of any occurrences of this type is much appreciated. 
The Town of Williamston makes every effort to ensure that the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Collection System are operated and maintained in a manner that meets or exceeds all applicable local, state and federal requirements. 
Tours of the Town of Williamston's Wastewater Treatment and Collection Systems are available. To schedule a tour contact Martin Todd at 252-792-4744.
