What We're Doing
The City of Stillwater and Stillwater Utilities Authority is making improvements to multiple facilities at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. These include: two digesters, an automatic transfer switch, a gas collection system used for fueling the heat generation system, grease handling system, basin drains, fencing and roofing.
