Working to eliminate chlorine from the disinfection process at its Humboldt Industrial Park wastewater treatment plant, CAN DO, Inc. recently completed a $450,000 installation of an ultraviolet disinfection system.
CAN DO began the planning phase for the ultraviolet disinfection system in 2013 in order to eliminate the discharge of sodium bisulfate and sodium hypochlorite into the waterways from the wastewater treatment plant. The plant is equipped to treat up to 1 million gallons per day of sanitary sewage. It serves only the Humboldt Industrial Park, which consists of 60 industries employing approximately 10,000 people at peak periods of the year.
The CAN DO Student Action Committee is inviting the community to come together and ring in the Christmas season as it hosts the 23rd annual CAN DO Community Christmas on Wednesday, Dec. 2, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Christ Lutheran Church, Church and Green streets in Hazleton.
Area photographer Joseph Pecora was honored by the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce and CAN BE with the 2015 Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
CAN DO Director of Economic Development and Entrepreneurship James Kelshaw presented the award during the 15th annual Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce Business and Community Awards Luncheon.
