Water award
SEQUIM — The city water reclamation facility has received a “Wastewater Treatment Plant Outstanding Performance” award for 2015 by the state Department of Ecology.
This is the fifth year in a row the facility has received the award for achieving full compliance with its national pollutant discharge elimination system permit.
Only 119 systems out of about 300 received the award.
“To earn this award year after year requires team effort between the water reclamation facility operators and the support of the City Council management and the public works staff,” said Sequim Utilities Manager Pete Tjemsland.
