The composition of the wastewater we receive is 99.9% water with the remaining 0.1% containing organic matter, microorganisms and inorganic compounds that we work hard daily to remove before discharging to the Androscoggin River. In 2022, we specifically removed 94.7% of the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 96.4% of the Total Suspended Solids (TSS), which make up the majority of pollutants that we received, resulting in cleaner water being discharged from our facility than that naturally flowing by our facility from the river.
The Lewiston-Auburn Water Pollution Control Authority (LAWPCA) was created by an act of the Maine Legislature in 1967 to provide wastewater treatment services to the Cities of Lewiston and Auburn.
As of October 15, 2021, we will no longer accept RV waste
