Camas wastewater treatment plant earns ‘outstanding performance’ award

The city of Camas is once again being recognized for its outstanding work in the area of wastewater. The Camas wastewater treatment plant recently received the Washington State Department of Ecology’s 2021 “Wastewater Treatment Plant Outstanding Performance” award. Out of the 300 wastewater treatment plants across the state, Camas ranks among the top 124 selected as top performers.

Ecology provides the awards each year using a specific set of criteria to evaluate specific domestic wastewater treatment plants for compliance with their permit. Camas was considered a top performer for regularly meeting numeric effluent limits per criteria, for conducting monitoring and for reporting data as required.
