Abstract:
According to a special report to the Raleigh City Council, the recently enacted state ban on phosphate detergent has improved the phosphate-removal efficiency of the city’s Neuse River Wastewater Treatment Plant and has had an immediate positive impact on water quality in the Neuse River. Additional studies by environmental consultants also show improvements to the phosphate-removal efficiency of wastewater treatment facilities in Greensboro and Durham.
