MWMC Wastewater Facility

The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission operates the Water Pollution Control Facility located at 410 River Avenue in Eugene, Oregon, serving the cities of Eugene and Springfield along with surrounding areas. The facility has a design capacity to handle an average dry weather flow of 34 million gallons per day and a peak wet weather flow of 277 million gallons per day.

The wastewater treatment process at the facility involves four distinct stages: pretreatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, and final treatment, ensuring the effective removal of solids and pollutants before discharging treated water into the Willamette River. Additionally, the facility employs anaerobic digestion to convert sludge into useful byproducts, such as methane gas, which is utilized for power generation.
