"The Sanitation Districts provide environmentally sound, cost-effective wastewater and solid waste management and, in the process, convert waste into resources such as reclaimed water, energy, and recycled materials."

"The Sanitation Districts construct, operate, and maintain facilities to collect, treat, recycle, and dispose of wastewater and industrial wastes. Individual districts operate and maintain their own portions of the collection system. Local jurisdictions are responsible for the collection of wastewater through local sewers and the collection of solid waste. The Sanitation Districts also provide for the management of solid wastes including disposal, transfer operations, materials recovery, and energy recovery."
