WRA’s Board will meet to discuss the business of the organization and hot topics in the basin. The meeting will include a tour of the DELCORA treatment system.
Delaware County residents and businesses generate millions of gallons of wastewater every day. This wastewater must be collected, conveyed, and treated in a safe, effective way that prevents the contamination of our community’s streams, rivers, and general water supply. DELCORA, the Delaware County Regional Water Quality Control Authority, has been providing this vital function to our communities for over four decades. Serving as a municipal authority, DELCORA, owns, operates, and maintains these wastewater facilities that serve approximately half a million people, including 46 municipalities in Delaware and Chester Counties. DELCORA collects and conveys an average daily wastewater flow of approximately 60 million gallons per day (mgd) with an instantaneous peak flow of approximately 200 mgd. As a result, the citizens of our region enjoy clean, healthy water.
