Industrial Pretreatment
LUS Industrial Pretreatment

All municipal Pretreatment programs are mandated by federal law and are in place to protect the wastewater treatment facilities, their employees, the community and the environment.
Industrial Users must first go through a permitting process and obtain approval to discharge their pre-treated, non-hazardous wastewater into the LUS wastewater collection system.
The LUS Pretreatment program oversees this permitting program and ensures compliance with the issued permits.
Please view the following documents for more information on the Pretreatment Program, and if applicable, please fill out the mandatory Industrial User Survey and return to the address listed on the form.
