Pretreatment

A pretreatment program is a collaboration between federal, state, and local environmental agencies to reduce the amount of pollutants that enter the environment and municipal sewer systems. 


All businesses with a sewer connection are included in the City's Pretreatment Program. These businesses are inspected annually to ensure compliance with Pretreatment regulations. During field inspections, commercial and industrial facilities are evaluated for compliance and educated about pollution prevention. Environmental Code Compliance strives to help businesses maintain compliance.

Certain industries are required to have a wastewater discharge permit based on the strength and quantity of their wastewater discharge. Environmental Code Compliance helps businesses through every step of the permit process. Permit applications are reviewed by staff to determine if the proposed pretreatment equipment will adequately remove pollutants from the waste stream. Once a permit is issued, inspectors will regularly monitor the wastewater discharge to ensure compliance with local limits.
