See how we:

Our staff consists of certified wastewater operators, maintenance specialists, laboratory technicians, and engineers whose sole mission is to safeguard the public health of Marin County residents and protect the environment by providing excellent wastewater treatment and disposal services.

We are a Certified Green Business.

CMSA was officially recognized as a Green Business by the Marin County Board of Supervisors at their August 2005 meeting.

As part of the certification process, CMSA was inspected. The inspectors were most impressed by:

  • CMSA’s exemplary record of compliance with environmental regulations
  • The methane co-generation project, in which methane gas produced in the treatment process is used to power a generator, producing more than 50% of the power demands of the entire treatment plant and headquarters office.
  • Use of bicycles and electric carts for on-site transportation
  • The overall commitment to environmental responsibility and recycling
  • Reclaimed water usage for irrigation, cooling water, plant maintenance and cleaning activities

CMSA continues to maintain this environmental awareness in the choices of products we use, our recycling efforts, and by selecting pumps, blowers, variable frequency drives, and other plant equipment that reduce electrical consumption. By working together, our goal of protecting the environment is achieved in an efficient and green way.
