Water is an abused resource, and in many places it is lacking in quality and quantity. As more areas around the world are running out of water, including areas in the United States, it is important water is used as efficiently as possible. Currently, Milwaukee, Wisconsin has a large clean water source, Lake Michigan, whose water supply is protected by the Great Lakes Compact. However, this compact has already been compromised, and water from Lake Michigan is being pumped to areas where the flow does not travel back into the body of water. The future may include lower water quality and quantities leading to a decrease in water availability as well as an increase in the price for water. This thesis includes a comparative study between two low cost systems used in small scale wastewater treatment applications, the membrane bioreactor and the constructed wetland. The study was completed for the Northwestern Mutual Life North Office Building, located in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the waste that is generated at that site. A literature review was completed for wastewater treatment of the two processes, including case studies from international, national, and regional applications. Both the membrane bioreactor and constructed wetland systems were applied to the Northwestern Mutual Life North Office Building generation, and a cost analysis was performed between the two systems, including the payback periods. The results of this study indicate that the on-site treatment of wastewater does not provide an adequate payback period for Northwestern Mutual Life to re-use the treated wastewater their building generates throughout the year.
