27 plants · 42% of the state · 7 MGD reported by 22 plants
Klarifi identifies 27 publicly owned wastewater treatment plants with chlorine disinfection in Vermont, 42% of the 64 plants in the state (7 MGD reported by 22 plants). The largest is Bennington Wastewater Treatment Facility in Bennington at 2.53 MGD.
Chlorine or chloramine disinfection, often followed by dechlorination before discharge, remains the most common effluent disinfection in the United States. Plants on gas chlorine are candidates for conversion to hypochlorite or UV, a recurring capital project driven by safety rules and permit limits on residual chlorine.

Contacts and project signals for every plant on this list
Klarifi adds verified decision-maker contacts, permit limits, discharge monitoring data and the capital projects planned in each city, filterable by technology, size and compliance record.
Sources and methodology
Flow, permit and violation figures come from the EPA's ICIS-NPDES discharge monitoring records. Population served comes from the Clean Watersheds Needs Survey 2022. Treatment structures are identified by Klarifi's review of aerial imagery, and capital improvement projects are extracted from published municipal budget documents. Violations are counted over the last three years of monitoring reports.
