Water Treatment Plant
The City of Jesup has been treating wastewater since the early fifties. The treatment plant was updated in 1971 and then updated again in 1988. The City of Jesup Wastewater treatment plant is an Extended Aeration Activated Sludge plant with secondary treatment with drying beds. After the secondary treatment process, the effluent is disinfected and pumped 3 miles to the Altamaha River. The wastewater plant is permitted to pump 2.5 million gallons per day to the river. There are sixteen pumping stations around town that pump the wastewater to the treatment plant.
The City of Jesup wastewater plant has won the Gold Award for five years; the fifth year the plant won the Platinum Award. To earn this award you compete against your permit requirements, and must not have any permit violation of the year. To earn the Platinum award you have to earn the Gold Award for five consecutive years. This program is sponsored by the Georgia Water and Pollution Control Association to reward the operation of the water and wastewater plants in the State of Georgia.
