City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget The Wastewater Program provides high-level administration and management of wastewater services including operation and maintenance of the collection system, treatment plants and facilities (i.e. the Wastewater Group). This program is associated with the Collection System, Treatment and Maintenance Programs and includes financial and administrative support. Administration includes financial planning, budget development, timekeeping, human resources, records management, reception services/onsite access, security, mail distribution, community advisory committee, telecommunications, and development of Group- level policies, procedures and business processes. Program staff is also responsible for managing direct support services that the Wastewater Group relies on in the Stores and Facilities work units (associated with the Bureau Support Program), the Work and Asset Management System Administration and Reporting and Analysis work units (associated with the Information Management Program) and the Learning and Development work unit (associated with the Employee Development Program). Changes to Program The Wastewater Program has had a growing need for administrative services, including a need for improved coordination across the bureau and City. For FY2020-21, this program requests addition of an intern to provide administrative support (front desk & stores back-up, records management, etc.) and to support advancement of Citywide diversity opportunities. The program also requests roughly $56,000 to begin to adequately resource for an upcoming CMMS/EAMS Replacement Project and to complete an application upgrade of the automation system used to monitor and control the collection system and treatment plants. 815
