History
City wastewater system lines were first intalled in the
early 1900's but the first wastewater treatment plant was not installed
until 1950. The plant was renovated in 1974 and again in
1984. The plant operated for 53 years.
A new treatment plant was built in 2003 with an oxidation ditch, water
clarifiers and ultraviolet disinfection. A new plant was constructed to
meet new water quality standards ordered under the Clean Water Act of 1996.

Wastewater treatment in Kingman is
funded by a sewer service fee collected from the users. These funds are
used for the maintenance, operation, and project financing for the sewer
system and the wastewater treatment facility.
The wastewater lines and manhole repairs
under a new maintenance and upgrade program were started in 2001 and 2002.
However, due to continued inflow and infiltration within this system more
work will need to be done as funds are available. In 2003 a new wastewater
treatment plant was constructed to meet new clean water regulations.
Rate Structure:
- $19.00 for the first
2,000 gallons or any fraction thereof;
- $5.50 per thousand
gallon thereafter.
Residential:
A monthly user charge shall be based on the average monthly water usage
during the first three months of each year (January, February, and
March). If a residential user has not established a January, February,
and March average, his monthly user charge shall be the median charge of all
other residential contributors.
Commercial and
Industrial user charges shall be based on the water metered during
the current month. If a commercial or industrial user has a consumptive
use of water, or in some manner uses water which is not returned to the
wastewater collection system, the user charge for that contributor may be
based on wastewater meter(s) or separate water meter(s) installed and
maintained at the users expense, in a manner acceptable to the City.
Said meters must be open and available for inspection and reading by an
authorized City representative.
Additional rates for other than normal domestic waste
are addressed in the city wastewater ordinance.
