City Engineer Eric Jaffe announced at the Sept. 16 Laramie City Council meeting that the city’s wastewater treatment plant received the 2025 Sustainability Award from the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association.

Mark Haslett and Bill Schott joined city officials at the meeting to celebrate the recognition. The council acknowledged the award during the meeting’s remarks; the transcript records the announcement but does not include details of the award criteria, the city’s sustainability measures that led to the recognition, or any associated funding or programmatic changes.

Council members thanked plant staff and representatives for the achievement. The announcement was part of the meeting’s non-legislative remarks and was not tied to a formal council action in the recorded minutes.
