Sewer Capacity

The City of Malden owns and operates a central wastewater collection and treatment system. The City is served by wastewater treatment facilities constructed in July, 2001, and designed to handle 500,000 gallons per day. 

We will soon be facing new challenges in the operation of our wastewater facility.  New mandated testing requirements will force the Board of Public Works to renovate the existing wastewater treatment plant. After careful planning, engineering and plant design will be selected.  Completion is expected by August of 2011.
