  • The Terrence J. O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) is one of seven wastewater treatment facilities owned and operated by the MWRD. The MWRD is the wastewater treatment and stormwater management agency for the City of Chicago and 125 Cook County communities. We work every day to mitigate flooding and convert wastewater into valuable resources like clean water, phosphorus, biosolids and natural gas.
    If you live within our service area, the water that goes down your toilet, sinks and drains eventually comes to us to be cleaned. We treat wastewater from homes and businesses throughout our 883-square-mile service area in addition to stormwater from some communities. All of this wastewater and stormwater flows through local sewers into
    our interceptors before flowing to WRPs where we clean the water and recover resources using a combination of physical, biological, and sometimes chemical, treatment processes.
    The MWRD provides this service for over 5 million people. Nearly 450 billion gallons of wastewater is treated by our seven facilities every year.

    I work nearby so on nice days I get some extra exercise in the Skokie North Shore Channel Park and go by this facility a lot. I never knew it actually had a name, and was always curious about what was inside as I come from a STEM family so this intrigued me. Props to the MWRD for this informative video. And allowing local municipalities to have public parks on their adjacent properties, which is why I did some more research and came across this video.

    Very interesting! Oh, just a note. The flag hanging from the overhead crane is backwards! The blue field containing the stars is always on the left! Thought you should know! Thanks for the video. Signed an US ARMY veteran!
