The objective of the Sewer Division is to operate, maintain, expand,
clean and repair the sanitary sewer trunk line system, lift stations
and pumps. In addition, this division is responsible for inspection
of all services to insure that installation of the sewer facilities
is in conformance with the city's plans and specifications before
they are accepted for public use and maintenance.
The Wastewater Division operates and maintains the city’s
wastewater treatment facilities. This includes not only the physical
maintenance on several expensive treatment structures, such as lift
stations, sedimentation tanks, digesters, filters, pumps and control
buildings, but also performing numerous laboratory analyses on domestic
and industrial waste samples. It is very important that treatment
of wastewater be carefully controlled and the equipment maintained
to insure compliance with the discharge requirements set by the
State Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Sewer and Wastewater
Divisions operate under the direction of the Board of Public Utilities.
