What Makes Willard Run and Why Maintenance Matters
Willard State Hospital relies on a complex network of underground pipes water steam and electrical systems. Maintenance chief Charles Blohm notes each building's unique needs with boilers under repair and a 24 hour winter heat plan. The plant handles 180 million gallons of water annually supplying the hospital and Willard town from Seneca Lake. Water is filtered treated with chlorine pumped to a four million gallon reservoir then distributed by gravity and a high pressure system to all buildings. Sewage disposal is upgraded though dated 35 years, and weekly health inspections ensure safe water return to the lake.
