Veolia Completes $58 Million Princeton Meadows Wastewater Facility
Veolia has finalized a $58 million upgrade to the Princeton Meadows Wastewater Treatment Facility in New Jersey. The project replaces a 55-year-old plant with modern, climate-resilient infrastructure and advanced ultraviolet disinfection technology.
The newly completed facility in Plainsboro Township, New Jersey, represents a significant investment in regional water infrastructure. By replacing aging assets, the project aims to improve treatment performance and operational efficiency while maintaining the site's long-standing role in providing reclaimed water for local irrigation.
The upgrade incorporates energy-efficient equipment and advanced UV disinfection systems, reflecting a shift toward more sustainable treatment processes. This facility has historically been a critical component of the local water cycle, having supplied over 1.4 billion gallons of reclaimed water since 1971.
This project underscores the ongoing trend of private-public partnerships in upgrading municipal wastewater assets to meet modern environmental standards. The completion of the plant is expected to enhance the resilience of the local wastewater system against climate-related challenges.
