As GBMSD began accepting
industrial wastewater, the
composition of that wastewater
began to change. Wastewater is
comprised of “liquids” and “solids,”
or pounds of pollutants. Data
shown here from a GBMSD Annual
Report indicates that the nature of
pollutants changed significantly.
"(GBMSD) created a tripartite agreement of
sewage treatment facilities
and manufacturing plants
… I think there was a pretty
cooperative community spirit
involved toward the District.”
– Tom Cooper, Executive
Director (1977-1989)
