A City of Bend staff member said the utility treats wastewater every day of the year to protect groundwater and the environment. "Instead of just sending it straight into the ground untreated, we're treating the waste 365 days a year," the staff member said.
The staff member linked year-round treatment to environmental protection and public health, explaining those operations are intended to avoid contamination of local groundwater. The remarks were framed as routine operational practice rather than a policy proposal or regulatory change.
