Eugene-Springfield’s resource for cleaning water & sustainable management practices.
The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) protects our local health, safety, and environment by providing high quality management of wastewater treatment to the Eugene-Springfield community–24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Our work is driven by our commitments to:
- High Environmental Standards
- Fiscal Management that is effective and efficient
- A successful intergovernmental partnership
- Maximum reliability and useful life of regional assets and infrastructure
- Public awareness and understanding of MWMC, the regional wastewater system, and its objective for maintaining water quality and a sustainable environment.
Always Cleaning
The Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant runs 24/7/365, and in 2022 cleaned a total of 12 billion gallons of water, with an average of 32.8 million gallons per day. Our peak day was on January 4th, when we cleaned 135.8 million gallons in 24 hours!
Constantly Monitoring
Our operators carefully check every part of our treatment process to make sure every drop of water we release to the Willamette River is clean. In 2022, they collected 3,283 samples at the plant and ran 28,550 tests to ensure that our water is safe and that everything is running smoothly.
