Mission Statement

Provide high quality, reliable, sustainable water and ecologically safe wastewater collection and treatment with a commitment to service excellence and cost effectiveness.

Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District wants you to know that many household items require proper disposal so that dangerous chemicals and metals do not end up in your drinking water. According to the Tri-County Health Department, the following items should NOT be thrown into the trash: paints, solvents, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, televisions, computer electronics equipment, keyboards, monitors, fax machines and printers. These items are classified as hazardous waste because they contain caustic materials and harmful metals including lead, phosphorus, cadmium, barium, and mercury which can contaminate our groundwater.
