• History

The City of Marshall owns and operates the Robert J. Swalwell Wastewater Treatment Facility at 801 Industrial Road. The facility currently treats about 1.8 million gallons of wastewater every day. The wastewater originates from domestic and industrial sources within the system’s service area, which includes the City of Marshall as well as some outlying areas such as Lyon Lake.

The plant is in continuous operation and the effluent must meet the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The 6 member staff at the facility conduct daily analysis and ongoing operational evaluation to ensure continuing adherence to these permit standards. Along with the above duties, staff is responsible for the operation and maintenance of thirteen lift stations located throughout teh community.

The goal of the Marshall Wastewater Treatment Department is to achieve the highest degree of treatment possible to protect the natural resources and the people of the State of Michigan.
