In 1907 the citizens of York wished to convey their waste out of the city.  This was done by constructing a pipeline from the city to just north of York where today, a modern wastewater treatment plant exists.  In 1914 the first treatment facility was constructed which included Imhoff Tanks and Sludge Drying Beds.  Today, after several major improvements, the City of York WWTP produces a quality effluent that is discharged into the Codorus Creek.  Please visit this link to learn more about the WWTP.
