Wastewater Treatment Operations
This division is responsible for the proper treatment of residential, commercial, and industrial wastewater. It is charged with operating the wastewater treatment facility and 24 lift stations involving the safe treatment and disposal of more than 1.8 billion gallons of wastewater each year.
Wastewater Industrial Pretreatment
The pretreatment program works to test and regulate levels of potential industrial waste pollutants that could be discharged into the city’s waste water sewer system. Enforcement is supported in large part by federal and state mandated guidelines and locally by city ordinance. The city's monitoring system involves facility inspections and testing on a regular schedule to ensure compliance targeting suspected areas downstream of industrial users. Industrial businesses that plan to discharge potential pollutants into our wastewater system must first obtain a permit.
