North River WWTP

Existing primary and secondary treatment facility serving 550,000 customers on Manhattan’s west side.

The facility was completed in several phases which went operational between 1986 and 1991.

Riverbank State Park is located on top of the wastewater treatment plant; the entire structure covers 28 acres.

The plant is constructed on 2,300 drilled piers over the Hudson River, supporting 95% of the platform
