  • Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA

Challenge

In 2001, during the construction phases of the Gillette Stadium design expansion at Patriot Place, research showed that the town of Foxborough would not be able to provide the amount of water needed for the new Patriots stadium arena. The Foxborough stadium would put a huge strain on the town’s resources. It was also made apparent that the municipal wastewater treatment facility in place would not be able to handle the excess wastewater flow at Gillette Stadium during game days and other events. So, officials turned to Natural Systems Utilities (NSU) to fix the problem. The services necessary for the Patriots Place Gillette Stadium design and the Town of Foxborough included creating and building the system, managing the water reuse system, repair and maintenance, customer services and capital planning. The system is the perfect solution for the town and the Patriots stadium and continues to meet their needs year after year.

Highlights

  • The Gillette wastewater treatment plant is now the largest water reuse facility in Massachusetts
  • In operation since 2003
