Wastewater Division
The Florence Oregon Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at 650 Rhododendron Drive. The facility is responsible for many aspects of wastewater disposal, including meeting Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requirements concerning the treatment and disposal of all wastewater from the collection system, and operation and maintenance of all equipment needed to meet these requirements. Additionally, our Biosolids Management Plan, FloGro, allows the City to utilize a covered aerated static pile (CASP) system to compost the biosolids into a Class A product that can be distributed to the public.
Our mission is to provide cost effective and efficient wastewater collection, treatment and bio-solids handling operations that are compliant with federal and state regulations, which will ensure a clean and safe environment for future generations.
The Florence Wastewater Treatment Plant was built in 1999. It is designed to treat 1.3 million gallons per day (MGD), average dry weather flow and a wet weather average daily flow of 4.3 MGD. Presently, the City experiences an average flow of 0.85 MGD. The wastewater system is comprised of approximately 93 miles of sanitary sewer lines, 38 pump stations, plus 28 STEP (Septic Tank Effluent Pump) stations, and serves over 3,700 customer connections.
The Wastewater Division of Florence Public Works is responsible for collecting and conveying wastewater from customers to the treatment plan in a well-maintained collection system, free of stoppages and spills. The wastewater collection system includes many miles of wastewater pipes and numerous wastewater pumping stations. The pumping stations provide a means of moving wastewater from areas lacking gravity sewer lines to an adjacent area where gravity lines exist.

RhodoView Dunes STEP (Septic Tank Effluent Pump) System
The sanitary sewer system within RhodView Dunes is very different from the typical sanitary sewer system within the City. Due to the uniqueness of the system, the City feels that it is important that residents of RhodoView understand how the system operates and what the responsibilities are of the homeowner and the City.
