/ j l <br /> ~ <br /> f, 1 <br /> i , <br /> i' <br /> i <br /> To our community and stakeholders: <br /> For more than 25 years, the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) has worked to protect both ~ <br /> the health and safety of our community and the water quality of the Willamette River. Maintaining those two objectives <br /> has become increasingly challenging as wastewater volumes from residences and industry increase, and environmental <br /> regulations place increased demands on our treatment practices. <br /> i <br /> 1 ~'Y <br /> We have responded to those challenges by the developement of our 20-year Facilities Plan. That plan is the result of ' <br /> many months of Commission, consultant and staff efforts to create a "road map" for the next twenty years. The Plan r <br /> f <br /> has been adopted by the Cities of Eugene and Springfield and the Lane County Board of Commissioners. It reflects our ' <br /> commitment to environmental stewardship, fiscal responsibility, public involvement and careful planning. We are in the <br /> <br /> ~ process of initiating action on that plan and will report progress in future annual reports. 1 ! 1 <br /> Fiom top left: Faye Ste'tv'art, bane, County Commissioner <br /> Doaag Keeler, City of Sp' i~tgfie~d Ci~szen Representative <br /> -Since it's inception, the MWMC has been assisted in developing and managing the total wastewater program by a number ~ <br /> Middle row: George Po~ittg, City of ,Eugene Council <br /> of volunteers from the community.
