SPRING TEAMUP: Teamwork makes the dream work
Teamwork comes in a variety of ways.

This spring’s guide provides insight into elements of our wastewater treatment plants and our Noble Hill Springfield Sanitary Landfill and exactly how you, the resident, can be an integral team member in keeping our wastewater collection and treatment working smoothly and in efforts to displace waste from the landfill that should be disposed of in other methods. Check out our interactive guide and see how you can join the Spring Teamup!
