WASTEWATER

The City of Marshfield Wastewater Treatment Facility is a division of the Public Works Department that treats the liquid wastewater generated by the residential, business, and industrial users of the sanitary sewer system in its facilities in order to remove the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), the suspended solids and the other contaminants which could be harmful to humans, animals or the environment in general.

Our facilities operate equal to or greater than compliance with the limiting discharge parameters and rules set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). We protect the investment of the users of the treatment facilities by keeping the treatment plant, lift stations and collection system properly maintained and keep the public informed regarding the importance of this service for the health of the community.
