WASTEWATER DILEMMA SIMPLY SOLVED FOR FOOD MANUFACTURER

With constant flooding of its parking lot and difficulty maintaining its leaching pools, Simply Lite Food Corp. knew it was time for a change.

Discharging approximately 5,000 gallons per day of processed wastewater to groundwater, Simply Lite retained H2M to determine where, how and how much water was being used; identify where process wastewater was being generated; and define the characteristics of the process wastewater. A comprehensive inspection of the facility was performed, uncovering several areas of highly excessive water use. H2M proposed immediate recommendations, which resulted in a reduction of water use at the facility of over 30%. These recommendations, coupled with a 20,000 gallon hold-and-haul tank, allowed Simply Lite to meet local agency regulations.
