Wastewater Management Plan

The Wastewater Management Plan lays out the requirements and framework to meet future demands for wastewater treatment while maintaining water quality standards for waterbodies within the Metro Water District.  These requirements include wastewater collection system inspection and maintenance, management of septic systems and decentralized systems and local wastewater planning.  Specific tasks and milestones for implementing these recommendations are included for local governments as well as regional and state agencies.
