The Sangamon County Water Reclamation District, formerly known as the Springfield Sanitary District, is a governmental organization established in 1924 under the Illinois Sanitary District Act of 1917. It was created to address the issue of raw sewage flowing into the local waterways, which posed a threat to the drinking water supply. Over the years, the District has successfully met the challenges of a growing community and has made significant capital improvements, serving over 150,000 people in the Springfield metro area.
As part of its commitment to community safety, the Sangamon County Water Reclamation District actively participates in the Sangamon County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. This collaborative effort involves governmental entities, not-for-profit organizations, and community groups, aiming to gather input from residents regarding their experiences with natural hazards such as floods, tornadoes, severe storms, and winter storms. By incorporating this feedback into the plan update, the District and the community become better prepared to mitigate the impact of natural hazards, making Sangamon County a safer place to live.
