The Rockland sewage treatment facility consists of a 3 cell biological treatment area, located west and north of the city. Historically, after treatment, the affluent was discharged into Rock Creek. The city now has an 11 million gallon storage containment pond that holds the formerly discharged affluent and uses it to irrigate crops for non-human consumption. This is a win-win situation for the community because it saves discharging into a waterway, protecting our surface water from possibility of contamination, but also provides a monetary return allowing for lower sewer rates.
