A complete and accurate inventory of the collection system is maintained with recorded inspections and mapping updates. This activity is funded through sewer user fees. The facilities are operated within the strict guidelines established by state and federal agencies through a waste discharge permit for the discharge of plant effluent to the Mary's River. Routine water sample collection for laboratory analysis is performed, and monthly reports are sent to the Department of Environmental Quality to insure regulatory compliance. Preventive and corrective maintenance is performed at three pumping stations throughout the collection system.
Funding is provided through sewer user fees.
