The first week of February, the MWMC team, represented by Loralyn Spiro, accepted a National Environmental Achievement Award at the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) winter conference.

The MWMC received this award in the Public Information & Education: E-Media category for our One Water video and digital campaign.

On February 2nd, team members from the MWMC joined fellow municipalities, water conservation organizations, and legislators for Water Day at the Oregon State Capitol.

From our team, Emily Bradley, Todd Miller, and Bryan Robinson participated in a morning "lightning talk" presentation on sustainability efforts including Water Reuse and Biosolids Management efforts at our regional wastewater treatment facility.

Can I flush wipes that are marketed as "flushable"?

Unfortunately, product packaging labels can sometimes be misleading.

The reality is that even wipes and other products labeled "flushable" clog our pumps and pipes and are therefore a big challenge for our wastewater treatment process! Since wipes clog pipes, please throw them in the trash.

For groups of 10 or more!

Whether you're an educator, business leader, or simply interested in how our wastewater gets cleaned and returned to the Willamette River, a tour is an excellent way to see it all for yourself!
