City of Camas Recognized With 2023 Wastewater Treatment Plant Outstanding Performance Award

The City of Camas has once again been recognized for its outstanding work in the area of wastewater. The Camas Wastewater Treatment Plant recently received the Washington State Department of Ecology 2023 “Wastewater Treatment Plant Outstanding Performance” award. Out of the 300 wastewater treatment plants across the state, Camas ranks among the top 118 selected as top performers.

The Department of 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.

Camas Public Works Director, Steve Wall, said the 2023 award is another amazing accomplishment by the City’s Wastewater team, a group that consistently hits high marks.

“We’re always happy to be recognized, but this award for 2023 is really a testament to how consistently good our Wastewater team has been over the years,” said Wall. “Even though our Wastewater division is a small team, they are clearly dedicated to providing high quality service to our community, and this award recognizes that hard work,” he said.

This marks the third consecutive year that Camas’ Wastewater Treatment Plant has received the coveted award.
