Abstract:
The public utilities department for the city of Raleigh received the Gold Award from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies in June 2005. The award was presented for the performance of the Neuse River Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plant operated in 100 percent compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, which is issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. This is the second year in a row that the plant has received the award.
