We need to maintain a rate structure to support these goals. p) Maintain a high quality Wastewater Treatment facility. It's important to discharge a high quality effluent and manage the disposal of biosolids in an environmentally sound manner. We also need to monitor for new pollutants that may need to be treated. We need to maintain a rate structure consistent with these goals. 3) Make sure that our stormwater system functions to preserve and protect the citizens. Continued implementation of the stormwater capital improvements program, maintenance of existing drainageways and continued education of the public about the benefits of joint uses is important.
