Facilities Planning Survey Open; Send Us Your Input!

Have you ever thought about how our regional wastewater plant and facilities came to be? If so, great! And if not, that’s ok too! We think about it on behalf of our ratepayers, have built on the successes, and plan for the future wastewater needs of our community.

The MWMC is currently developing a new 20-year Comprehensive Facilities Plan which is anticipated to be finalized in 2025. The last plan was created in 2004. The new plan will include an evaluation of the current conditions and identify needed upgrades and future facility construction to occur as our area’s population grows. Additionally, it will identify opportunities to expand or implement new programs that will help meet and serve the needs of community members while protecting the environment.

We are conducting a brief survey and would like your input. The survey is focused on community considerations and opportunities in developing our next 20-year Facilities Plan.

Pollution Solutions

Summer is the perfect time to grill out and make some delicious food! While the fats, oils, and grease from our favorite summer foods can be delicious, they can also cause problems in your drains and our wastewater system if they're not properly discarded. Remember to scrape grease off of your dishes and throw it away or compost it! Never put grease down the drain. If you'd like a convenient way to dispose of your grease, visit our Pollution Prevention webpage and request a free FOG kit!
