Waste Water Department

Sewer Plant History

​

The City of Canyonville provides wastewater collection and treatment services to the residents and businesses within the City's urban growth boundary (UGB).  By consistently and effectively providing these services, the City protects the water quality and supports the
beneficial use of the South Umpqua River.  The major elements of the City's wastewater infrastructure includes the sanitary collection system and the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). 

​

Our new Wastewater Plant is now finished.  It is a state of the art Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Facility.   When used with domestic wastewater the MBR processes can produce effluent of high quality enough to be  discharged to waterways or to be reclaimed  for urban irrigation. At our facility the effluent is being reclaimed and used in the processing of the wastewater.  Other advantages of MBRs over conventional  processes include small footprint, easy retrofit and upgrade of old  wastewater treatment plants.
