Wastewater#
Collection
The wastewater collection system (sanitary sewer) is a network of underground pipes that collects wastewater from homes, businesses and industries, carrying the waste to one of two water reclamation facilities.
Water Reclamation
The water reclamation facilities, staffed by state-certified operators, use an array of physical, biological and chemical processes to treat wastewater (sewage).

When it rains and as snow melts, runoff carries pollutants such as oil, antifreeze and gas down storm drains, contaminating our rivers, streams and lakes. Don't drip and drive.
Stormwater Master Planning helps protect people, property and the environment against flooding, erosion and water quality problems caused by runoff.
Fats, oils and grease can clog the pipes in your home and the City’s wastewater system. Don’t put them down the drain. Toss them instead.
