Often when we use water, we change it by adding wastes from our kitchens, laundries, bathrooms and businesses. This water is cleaned at the wastewater treatment plant and then put back into the natural water cycle.

The City of Gresham’s Wastewater Treatment Plant serves a population of approximately 101,000 customers and treats wastewater from the cities of Gresham, Fairview and Wood Village. The plant treats an average of 13 million gallons of wastewater per day.

The public and school groups may tour the wastewater treatment plant, located just north and west of Northeast 201st Avenue and Northeast Sandy Boulevard. Call 503-618-3450 to schedule a tour.
