Wastewater
OverviewThe Wastewater Division is responsible for protecting public health and safety by ensuring that wastewater is properly collected, treated, and discharged. This includes the planning, design, maintenance, and repair of all sanitary sewer mains, sewer lift stations, and the new $13 million dollar wastewater treatment plant facility within the City.
The Division operates 8 lift stations and a 1.5 million gallon per day wastewater treatment plant 7 days per week and maintains approximately 42 miles of collection system pipeline. Revenues to support the system come primarily from user service charges and fees. Approximately 5,005 sewer services are served by the treatment facilities. The Wastewater Treatment Plant also treats the sewage from the Palmer Creek Community Services District.
