Description

Renewable energy is typically generated far from where it is consumed. Transmission to the point of use becomes a limiting factor. Projects to extend the transmission grid and reduce loss with high voltage are meeting with opposition from property owners as well as land use restrictions.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE In early 2021 the City Council made the decision to transition from a private contractor and self-perform the operation and maintenance duties for the City’s wastewater system. The transition efforts took about 6 months and on July 6, 2021, the City officially took over these duties. Now, nearly 4 years later, the Water Quality Division is still going strong. As you most likely know, wastewater flows 24 hours a day 7 days a week and does not stop on holidays and weekends. The Water Quality Division works 365 days a year to ensure that our City’s wastewater is properly treated and disinfected prior to discharging to the Bay. There are three teams that make up the Water Quality Division: Collections, Maintenance, Operations. The Collection Team is responsible for cleaning and televising the 90 miles of sanitary sewer and 50 miles of storm sewer system. They also perform repairs on the system and haul biosolids in the summer. The Maintenance Team is responsible for maintaining all of the equipment at the 25 pump stations and 2 treatment plants. The Operations Team is responsible for the proper treatment and disinfection of the sanitary sewer. All three teams work together to preserve water quality in our Bay. On March 25 at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers (located at 500 Central Avenue) staff from the Water Quality Division will be at the City Council Work Session and present the work performed over these last several years and the plans for future years to come. Please tune in virtually or come in person. It can be guaranteed that anyone who attends the work session will learn more about what happens once the water leaves their homes, businesses, and schools and how the City operates and maintains the largest asset Coos Bay owns. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
