Today I made a phone call to Chuck Couley, the Superintendent of the Kinston Regional Water Reclamation Facitity. He gave me some information on their new system and their near future plans. From what I gathered, their new system already does a remarkable job. At present they are still discharging into the Neuse River. However, they have already purchased land to plant trees and discharge the water there.
Not only do they have this plan underway, they are also involved with composting their solid waste for fertilizer, heat pellets, and other uses. The trees that they are discharging their reclaimed water on will make a cheap catalyst needed for their composting operation.
All of this is interesting on it's own right, it is even more interesting due to the fact they have been on-line about one month. I guess maybe it seemed like a good idea to someone else other than myself. The Beaufort Commissioners seem to think it will be O.K. to begin to consider land application and reuse at some point after the new plant is on-line.
We will be posting some new info on the Kinston plant in the near future. Please check back. We are still trying to get more photos and more e-mail info up also. Please be patient and bear with us.
