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).
