Ensuring safe drinking water isn't our only priority.
Almost all of the water you flush down the toilet or send down the drain – 90%, in fact – eventually makes its way back to the river. But first, it makes a stop at our Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant.
At Gold Bar, our team of operators makes sure this "wastewater" gets properly treated and tested, so it can be safely returned to the river for the fish, wildlife and communities downstream who depend on it, just like we do.
Making sure wastewater is clean and safe also helps ensure the river will be a place all of us can enjoy and explore for years to come.
Take a look at how it all happens.
