The Mission of WPC

The mission of Water Pollution Control is to provide a high quality of service to our customers and to maintain excellence by preserving the quality of water for future generations.

The Water Pollution Control Department (WPC) has a key role in keeping our community's waterways clean and safe.  WPC is responsible for removing pollutants from the wastewater ("sewage") we all generate in our daily lives – at home, in schools, and in our businesses and industries.

Each year, WPC purifies literally billions of gallons of our community’s wastewater, and returns the clean reclaimed water to our waterways.

In short, WPC recycles water.

Removing pollutants from wastewater is part of the job.  Getting the wastewater to a WPC facility for treatment is equally important.  WPC is committed to doing both jobs reliably and efficiently.  Working with the US EPA, WPC has implemented CMOM programs which are further improving our system

The WPC website is designed to show you more about who we are, what we do, and how we protect your water.  We hope that you enjoy your visit.
