WWTP Improvement Project

The City of Sweet Home Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project is currently in design to upgrade old and undersized equipment to comply with State regulations.

The City has contracted with West Yost Associates for final design engineering.  The project has multiple components, including: influent pump station, main electrical and blower building, site demolition, site grading, retaining walls and yard piping, new electrical service and switchgear, standby generator and automatic transfer switch, other electrical upgrades, and a new outfall.

Sweet Home has been awarded a grant totaling $9 million from the State of Oregon and has been pre-approved for a $50 million low-interest WIFIA loan. The total project is estimated at $63 million.

Construction is expected to begin in fiscal year 2025 and last approximately three years.
