About us
The City of Jacksonville wastewater system collects and treats an average of about 240 million gallons every month. The flow comes from the citizens of Jacksonville and South Jacksonville. The collection transports both storm water and sanitary flows. The wastewater is treated at a treatment plant located on the north side of Jacksonville. Once treated, the effluent flows into Mauvaisterre Creek. Most of the Jacksonville sewer system is constructed as a combined sewer. Street inlets are tied into it to convey storm water during storm events. The combined flow, from customers and storm inlets, is collected from service laterals into the over 90,000 linear feet of sewer lines in Jacksonville. They tie into 3 main trunk lines that convey them to the wastewater treatment plant.
