Spokane Valley - Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer



Spokane's Wastewater Treatment Plant

All sewage collected by the sewer system is routed to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, processed (44 million gallon/day capacity) and discharged to the Spokane River.  There is an on-going effort to expand the existing sewer system across the Spokane valley - why is this important to aquifer protection?
