Reasons for Wastewater Treatment

Government Regulations: The Federal Government’s Clean Water Act states that all wastewater discharges from municipalities must meet EPA requirements for water quality.

Protect Clean Water: Rivers, lakes, and streams are protected by local wastewater treatment facilities which take polluted water from our homes and businesses and return safe water to the environment.

Public Health: Wastewater treatment has virtually eliminated many water-borne diseases.

Increases Economic Development: Without adequate sewage collection and treatment, economic growth is stifled.
