WASTE WATER UTILITY (Sewer) The Waste Water Utility provides for the collection and treatment of waste water received from residential, commercial and industrial uses. The waste water system has 127 miles of sanitary and combined sewers ranging from 4 to 48 inches in diameter, 15 pump stations, a secondary waste water treatment plant and about 7,200 service connections.
The treatment plant has capacity projected to be adequate until 2021 and a design population of 24,800 (1999 population is about 19,000). Rates are based on water usage.
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER PRETREATMENT PROGRAM
The City's Wastewater Utility is required by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) to update its industrial pretreatment program to comply with our Industrial National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and to comply with Environmental Protection Agency standards.
In addition to revising the Port Angeles municipal code, the updated program will specifically address the management of septic waste and the accumulation of grease in the sanitary sewer system.
Below are several reference materials regarding this issue.
