The Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant have won the top award in the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) Peak Performance Award Program.

The two plants won the AMSA Platinum award, reserved for wastewater treatment facilities with 100 percent compliance with their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination permits for five consecutive years.

The plants serve a population of over 614,000 and have a combined sewage treatment capacity of nearly 109 million gallons per day.

better to be on the best of poop processors list than the worst of, huh?
that's pretty nifty i suppose
what will be REALLY nifty is when they finish re-routing the entire cities' sewer lines to NOT overflow into the Willamette during big rains
hopefully during my Portland days we'll see a time when the Willamette ISN'T on the top ten worst polluted rivers list!
big rains in Portland? whodathunk?

It's fun being on the otherside of the world where the water goes the other way down the loo..
