Welcome,

I would like to welcome all of you to our new Wastewater home page located on the City of Ashland’s web site. We will try to cover a variety of topics on both the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Wastewater Collections Systems. As time goes on, the site will continue to be updated with new information regarding changes taking place in the wastewater field.

Also of great interest to me is the historical aspect of wastewater collections and treatment in the City of Ashland. I plan to include some historical information regarding our wastewater system. Hopefully, you will find it as interesting as I do. The city’s evolution in wastewater treatment has come along way since 1905, when our first treatment process was installed. Today, we have a state of the art treatment system that gives us an outstanding beneficial use product that can be used in a variety of ways in the future.

If this site does not address your questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 541-552-2335 or email at giesd@ashland.or.us. You can also give anyone on our staff a call at 541-488-5348. We will try to answer any questions that you may have. If you would like to arrange a tour of the wastewater plant, let us know. We will be happy to show you our facility. We are very proud of our wastewater facilities and take great pride in our operation and maintenance activities.
