AVERAGE FLOW: 1.5 MGD
(4,826 residential units)
In 2003 the Town of Cortland found that its sewage infrastructure had reached capacity, hindering desired, future growth. After careful research of its options, Cortland contracted with Sheaffer International to Design-Build-
Operate a Sheaffer System to serve its planned capacity needs. Of the 1.5 MGD design flow, 0.3 MGD reflects the existing town, with approximately 1.2 MGD of planned growth. Developers in town are providing open space irrigation, and the town will also irrigate a farm property with the reclaimed water.
