Newterra Provides Cutting-Edge Technology for Downe Township’s New Wastewater Treatment Facility
Newterra is constructing Downe Township's $33 million wastewater treatment facility, replacing outdated septic systems and providing modern wastewater infrastructure for 1,600 residents.
The facility, designed by engineering firm Mott MacDonald and set to be completed within 18 months, is a key development for the township following the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy. The project received significant funding from the USDA Rural Development program and congressional allocations, but the technological backbone of the system will come from Newterra, whose advanced treatment equipment will ensure the community benefits from clean, efficient, and sustainable wastewater management.
“We’re honored to contribute our expertise and technology to a project that holds such importance for the local community,” said Kevin Cassidy, CEO at Newterra. “Our wastewater treatment solutions are designed to not only meet the immediate needs of Downe Township but also to provide long-term resilience against environmental challenges, ensuring that the township thrives for generations to come.”
With the new facility in place, Downe Township residents in Fortescue and Gandys Beach will be connected to a township-wide sewer system, marking a significant improvement in infrastructure that will enhance public health, environmental protection, and community stability.
Newterra has a long-standing commitment to partnering with rural and coastal communities across the U.S. to deliver sustainable water and wastewater treatment solutions. This project is yet another example of how Newterra is playing a vital role in shaping the future of water infrastructure in regions facing unique challenges.
