One of ten final clarifiers at GBMSD. Here you see the water flowing through a
v-notch. This water is now ready for disinfection and to be discharged into the Bay of Green Bay at the mouth of the Fox River.

A good look at a final clarifier that is down for Maintenance work.

Once the wastewater stream has left the aeration basins it heads now to the final clarifiers, one of the last two stops in the liquids process before being discharged into the Bay of Green Bay.

Here, just as with the primary clarifiers, a quiet zone is in place. After doing all their work in the Aeration Basins the "Bugs" are given time to settle. The final clarifiers allow any solids in the stream to settle out to the bottom of the basins.

The solids that settle out are either sent back to the aeration basins as a food source for other bugs or are "wasted" to the Gravity Belt Thickeners.

The water that flows over the weirs is sent onto the disinfection process for the final step in the treatment process.
