Gilston Electric was honored to play a role in the rich legacy of Harlem by supporting the transition of its unique wastewater treatment plant into a resource recovery facility.

As New York City’s newest of 14 wastewater treatment plants, River North WWTP serves a population of 590,000 people in west Manhattan and is designed to handle 640,00 cubic meters daily.
An award-winning local landmark recognized for its aluminum clad “digester eggs,” the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest of 14 plants in New York City, serving more than a million people with clean water across 15,000 acres. Gilston Electric served as the primary contractor in the site’s expansion to increase capacity by 50 percent with the ground-up construction of a new Disinfection Building and Support Building.
