on the waters of Puget Sound by treatment of wastewater that meets or exceeds State and
Federal Clean Water Standards and by exploring opportunities for potential reuse of treated
wastewater.

manpower in an adequately sized and well-maintained sewer system that helps promote
business development and enhances economic opportunities in the County.
