Biodigestion Facility

Water Resources — Utility of the Future

We are a clean water utility leading towards resource recovery, improved operational efficiency, and sustainability to support a safe, healthy, thriving community, environment, and economy.

Managing the Waste We Produce Every Day

The Water Resource Recovery Facility treats an average of 40 million gallons of water daily. That's equivalent to 100,000 bathtubs!

Resource Recovery

We’re capturing valuable resources that would otherwise be lost. Methane produced by the anaerobic digester is captured and turned into renewable natural gas. A combined heat and power system produces thermal energy to heat the digester tanks and provides electricity to power the facility.

Protecting Our Natural Resources

Grand Rapids values its water resources above all else. By cleaning wastewater and recovering resources at our facility, we are doing our part to keep the Grand River and our watersheds clean for all to enjoy.
