PERMIT INFORMATION PERMITTEE NAME: City of Orem MAILING ADDRESS: 1797 West 1000 South, Orem, UT 84058 TELEPHONE NUMBER: (801) 229-7475 FACILITY LOCATION: 1797 West 1000 South, Orem, UT 84058 UPDES PERMIT NO.: UT0020915 PERMITTED OUTFALLS: 001 RECEIVING WATER: Powell Slough BACKGROUND The Orem Water Reclamation Facility (OWRF), originally constructed in 1958, was last upgraded in 2014. The facility consists of three mechanical bar screens and two aerated grit chambers, followed by a division between four primary clarifiers. The overflow from all four primary clarifiers goes to a system of biological nutrient removal (BNR) basins. After treatment in these basins the overflow goes to final clarifiers for separation which consists of return activated sludge (RAS), waste activated sludge (WAS), or cleaned water for final disinfection at an ultra violet (UV) disinfection system. The final effluent is discharged to Powell Slough with final receiving water being Utah Lake. All WAS is sent to an equalization basin and mixed with the primary clarifier underflow and then introduced to the anaerobic digester system for final treatment. The facility serves the City of Orem, the City of Lindon, and a portion of the Town of Vineyard. The average design flow is 13.5 MGD, with a design population equivalent of 135,000.
