County Pretreatment Program 
Information LinkYour Chamber has been asked if any of our members are interested in getting information on the County's "pretreatment" program that regulates commercial discharge to the sanitary sewer. County staff is currently proposing changes to County Code Chapter 26, Utilities. If you would like more information on this topic, please let the Chamber office know, and we will notify the proper authorities.
