Kitsap County Wastewater Treatment Plants awarded for outstanding performance

​(Port Orchard, WA) - Kitsap County Public Works Sewer Division was recently recognized by the Washington State Department of Ecology for Outstanding Performance in 2018 at wastewater treatment plants in Kingston and Manchester.

This is the 24^th consecutive year that the Manchester Wastewater Treatment Plant received this award, which is the longest consecutive record in the state of Washington. A total of 110 wastewater treatment plants received the award last year.

Wastewater treatment plants keep Washington's waters clean, by keeping pathogens, chemicals, trash, and sewage out of our water. This is accomplished with careful monitoring, excellent laboratory procedures, and knowledgeable staff. Keeping a wastewater treatment plant in top-performing condition can be a tough job, so every year Ecology recognizes these top-notch facilities and their operators.
