The department administers an Ohio EPA approved "Pretreatment Program".  Any industrial/commercial user discharging into the City's collection system is obligated to comply with the conditions defined in this regulation.  The City of Geneva welcomes and encourages new development and industry to our community.

Treatment is achieved through a trickling filter process, followed by advanced treatment.  The effluent is discharged into Cowles Creek.  This stream has been designated by the Ohio EPA as a low flow, warm water, and salmonoid habitat.  This treatment facility consistently meets the ever-stringent water quality standards imposed by this receiving stream.
