ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.–The Wallkill Town Board voted on July 24 to begin the process of applying for grants to pay for upgrades to the Wallkill Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The town plans to devote $7.9 million to upgrade the essential facility.
A 2025 Engineering Report by Dutch engineering and consultant company Arcadis identified improvements that could be made to the WWTP. Improvements would replace currently in use equipment that is at risk of operational failure and could have high maintenance costs in the future. The replacements would be newer and more energy efficient machines that are more reliable and have lower operational downtime.
