Wastewater
The Surprise Wastewater System protects our health and environment and meets strict federal and state water quality requirements. Currently, Surprise owns and operates the majority of the wastewater infrastructure within its incorporated boundaries.
The most frequent cause of sewer problems are due to fats, oils and grease being poured down the drain or flushed down toilets. It is recommended that cooking oils and grease be allowed to cool and then disposed of in the garbage. Learn more on the Pretreatment Resources page.
