Waste Water Treatment Upgrade Summary
The Essex Junction wastewater facility is owned by the Village of Essex Junction. The original plant was built in 1965 and has undergone several modifications since then to meet the needs of the three communities it serves. Flows to the plant are received from the Village, the Town of Essex, and the Town of Williston. Williston and Essex flows are managed under a contract known as the tri-town Agreement.
Much of the process equipment at the wastewater facility is beyond design life and replacement parts are not readily available. Without an upgrade funded through a bond issue, major maintenance projects will be necessary to meet state and federal permit requirements. Eventually an upgrade will be unavoidable, but at much higher costs.

Originally part of the Essex Township decreed by the English Crown in the 18th century, modern Essex Junction traces its roots back to a time shortly after the American Revolution when Ira Allen, brother of the more famous Ethan Allen, constructed a dam at a bend and natural water fall in the Winooski River between what is now Essex Junction and Williston. A saw mill adjacent to the dam sent logs down the Winooski to Lake Champlain. The falls, known as Hubbells Falls, became a site of early industry and economic growth in the Essex Town area.
Essex Junction today is a nearly textbook model of a well planned, human scale, sustainable community. Within the Village borders are three well kept public parks with a full range of recreational facilities, and programs managed by the Essex Junction Recreation and Parks department. Essex Junction also shares ownership of the Tree Farm soccer facility, with manicured soccer fields for holding local, state-wide, and regional tournaments.
