The wastewater treatment facility serving Asheville, North Carolina, and Buncombe County is now back on utility power and fully operational after weathering the recent storm. Despite processing three times the normal amount of water, the plant has been able to maintain its operations.
General Manager Tom Hardy of the Metropolitan Sewage District confirmed that the plant has been treating water continuously throughout the storm. Initially relying on backup generators post-storm, the facility has successfully transitioned back to utility power.
