Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater must be cleaned before it is released into the environment. Treatment processes employed vary from plant to plant.

Water is one of our planet’s most precious natural resources,
and wastewater treatment is an important part of the future of clean
water for all! Portland Water District’s Education staff recently
published a colorful booklet called “Did You Ever Wonder Where
All That Stuff Goes After You Flush the Toilet?”
