Eagles Point Wastewater Treatment Plant
Perched on a limestone bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, the Eagles Point Plant began service in September 2002, replacing the Cottage Grove Plant that had been in operation since 1962. The new treatment plant has a capacity to treat 10 million gallons of wastewater per day. It provides primary and secondary treatment to wastewater before discharging it to the Mississippi River. Biosolids are transported to the Metro Plant in St. Paul for treatment and beneficial use.
The plant serves Cottage Grove and will eventually serve much of Woodbury. The plant's capacity should be sufficient to serve the growing area until approximately 2020, at which time it could be expanded to 20 million gallons per day.
