Water Department Payment Information
The Le Roy water treatment plant has a 1 million gallon a day capacity. The plant is an iron removal system with (aeration/ Multimedia w/Greensand Pressure Filter Filtration). The plant draws ground water from three wells, which are fed into an aerator to remove hydrogen sulfide, methane, and oxidize iron. Chlorine and Sodium Permanganate are currently added to help oxidize arsenic. The water is then passed through Multimedia w/Greensand Pressure Filter Filtration to remove iron and arsenic. These filters backwash every 65,000 gallons to remove all build up of solids. The filtered water is finally softened and then treated again with chlorine and fluoride before being passed to the finished water storage tank and pumped out into the distribution system.

Sewer Department
The City of Le Roy provides sewage treatment through a lagoon system.
Both planning and design are well underway for improvements to the city's 45 year old Wastewater Treatment facility. Given the average useful life for this type of facility is typically around 25 years, it is of no surprise that most of the processes at the facility are reaching the end of their useful life and require replacement or repair.
The project consist of upgrading the existing influent pump station and headworks, replacing lagoon aeration equipment, replacing clarifier mechanism,adding an additional secondary clarifier, updating secondary weirs and valves, updating road, updating chemical dosing equipment, rehabilitating the sludge drying beds, adding an emergency generator, updating lab space and general site improvements for drainage and paved areas.
If you have a home in Le Roy built prior to 1979, you (more than likely) have a septic tank. City of Le Roy Ordinances make the homeowner responsible for any and all problems associated with the tank and the entire service line all the way to the main. If you develop any problem with your sewer service, you can contact the City to troubleshoot the problem. The City can determine if the problem is related to City mains (City responsibility) or your private service line (owner responsibility). To talk to a City representative, call (309) 962-3031. A time can be scheduled to have a City representative meet with you.
