Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant C

This set of information consists of the chemicals processed by a municipal wastewater treatment facility. The influent and effleunt chemical concentration values are listed as well. Located in the New York City area, this plant is one of the fourteen wastewater treatment plants that treat NYC sewage daily. The numerical values are given as monthly averages except for the last column, which is a yearly fiscal average.
