A portal to information for the news media about the Wastewater
Treatment Division of the King County Department of Natural Resources
and Parks
You can find news and current information about the regional
wastewater treatment utility at the links below. News Media Contacts: To arrange interviews and ask questions, reporters and editors are urged to
contact the utility's news media relations
staff.
The Wastewater Treatment Division protects public health and water
quality by conveying, treating and recycling wastewater and its
byproducts. The clean water agency has been preventing water pollution
for more than 40 years. Its first regional treatment plant began
operating in 1965.
Residents of King County voted in 1958 to create an independent
wastewater treatment agency called the Municipality of Metropolitan
Seattle, or Metro. In 1993, voters approved the merger of Metro's
wastewater and water quality functions (and its public transit
function) with King County.
No longer called Metro, the regional wastewater treatment utility
serves 17 cities and 17 local sewer utilities, and more than 1.4
million residents in King, south Snohomish and northeast Pierce
counties.
