The City of Prineville’s wastewater system has been designed to service the City’s projected needs through the year 2040±. The system is easily expandable to meet additional requirements beyond that period and can effectively process a wide range of design flows.
The benefits of this project are many, including;
Civic Improvements –
By utilizing the natural environment to treat our wastewater, City ratepayers will save $57 million dollars over the life of the project. These savings will stabilize future rates and attract new businesses to invest in Prineville.
