WATER AND             WASTEWATER  FUND WASTEWATER TREATMENT  PURPOSE AND MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT / DIVISION
ACCOUNT 501-7310-583
The mission of this division is to operate and maintain the Wastewater Treatment facility located on East 8th Street.  The wastewater treatment division includes the  assistant director for wastewater, operations supervisors, maintenance supervisor, plant operators and maintenance staff at the plant.

Significant Issues for 2003 - The increase in Personal Services for 2003 can be attributed to the 3% wage adjustment, merit increases for eligible employees, and increased costs for health care benefits.  Transfers to the General Fund increased due to the cost of providing support services to this Fund.  Funding for emergencies and contingencies was moved from Contractual Services and Commodities to Contingency.
