​

The City of Etna is supplied with clean, fresh water year-round from Etna Creek. Water is diverted from the creek to a treatment and storage facility, and is then gravity-fed for residential and municipal uses. The Department of Public Works is charged with daily monitoring of water quality, as well as treatment and regular reporting to state agencies.

​

Fees for water usage are collected monthly and consist of a base rate and a metered per-gallon charge. The revenue from the base rate goes into the City’s general budgetary fund, while the revenue from the metered rate is placed into a Water Improvement Fund.

 

​

The City of Etna operates a lagoon-style, aerated wastewater treatment facility. The Public Works staff monitors the lagoon’s levels and reports regularly to state agencies.
