SLCWRF serves Salt Lake City, located in the northern portion of Salt Lake County, Utah with a resident population of approximately 200,500 people, with approximately 91,000 equivalent residential sewer connections, and with both commercial and industrial facilities located within its service boundaries. Since initial construction, SLCWRF has completed numerous upgrades, improvements, and expansions to the original facility. Currently a completely new wastewater treatment facility is under construction, with an anticipated completion date in mid-2026. The SLCWRF design monthly average flow remains at 56 million gallons per day (MGD) with a secondary treatment peak hourly flow of 96 MGD. An additional 44 MGD could bypass secondary treatment to disinfection for an effective facility peak hour flow of 140 MGD if necessary under extreme conditions. Over the past five years, discharges from SLCWRF has averaged between 29-34 MGD as recorded and reported monthly. This renewal permit will once again authorize SLCWRF wastewater discharges and biosolids management for the next five years as appropriate.
