A plan to reuse 2 million gallons of wastewater a day will be discussed at upcoming meetings in Rosemount.
The Metropolitan Council is considering supplying a proposed garbage-to-ethanol plant with recycled wastewater from a sewage treatment plant.
The water from the Empire Township treatment plant in Farmington would be cleaned, then piped to a proposed Enerkem waste-to-ethanol plant in Inver Grove Heights .
The Enerkem plant would be the first in the nation to process domestic garbage into ethanol for use in vehicles.
The Met Council informational meeting will be May 21; and a public hearing will be May 31. Both will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Rosemount Community Center, 13885 S. Robert Trail.
