Ruston Council adopts code change to allow electronic pre‑treatment reporting with Tacoma

Apr 1, 2025

The council unanimously approved Ordinance 1590 to amend Ruston’s pre‑treatment code so the city can register for and submit electronic industrial pre‑treatment reports to Tacoma after Tacoma amended its code to accept EPA electronic reporting.

The full story

The Ruston City Council on April 1 adopted Ordinance 1590, updating the city’s pre‑treatment ordinance to mirror an amendment Tacoma adopted to allow electronic reporting under the Environmental Protection Agency’s electronic reporting rule. Under the Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement and the Pre‑treatment Interlocal Agreement, Ruston is required to keep its Pretreatment Ordinance at least as stringent and broad as Tacoma’s standards and to adopt corresponding changes when Tacoma amends its requirements.
