Wastewater

Wastewater from the urbanized Spokane area is collected and treated at the City of Spokane Advanced WWTP, which is located downstream of the WRIA 55/57 watersheds.

In addition to the urbanized Spokane area, Liberty Lake is also a municipal discharger in Washington. Kaiser and Inland Empire Paper are industrial dischargers to the Spokane River. Kaiser is also a discharger to the Little Spokane River via Deadman Creek. Spokane County is also planning a new facility with a discharge to the Spokane river below Upriver Dam.

Regional efforts to site a second WWTP between Spokane Falls and the Idaho border are on-going to serve the rapidly growing population in the Spokane Valley.
