The French Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is wholly owned and operated by the City of North Ridgeville but is located in Sheffield Village, Ohio. The plant serves North Ridgeville, Avon and Sheffield through main underground interceptor sewer lines.
French Creek was built in 1975 by the Ohio Water Development Authorities (OWDA) and was purchased from the State of Ohio by the City of North Ridgeville in 1983. While the plant is several decades old, North Ridgeville has continually upgraded and maintained operations of the plant. Significant investment has been made to ensure the plant remains current with technology and in compliance with ever-changing environmental guidelines. French Creek is ready to serve its growing customer base well into the future with safe, sanitary and cost-effective treatment of sewage.
The plant operates 24 hours per day with two shifts rotating daily to maintain and monitor the best working conditions of the equipment, keeping the water released back into French Creek clean and safe.
