The plant processes an average of 4 million gallons of wastewater a day before discharging the treated wastewater to the Shell Rock River. However, the plant processed 18-20 million gallons a day on June 22-23 after Albert Lea received more than 3 inches of rain in 48 hours and more than 7 inches in the last week.
