Organizational/Position Highlights
Four Rivers Sanitation Authority, formerly Rock River Water Reclamation District, was formed under the Sanitary District Act of 1917 and voted into existence by election in 1926. Today, a board of trustees appointed by the Winnebago County Chairman oversees the affairs of Four Rivers. Four Rivers' job is to collect wastewater, remove all the liquid and solid contaminants, and return fresh water to the Rock River.
Four Rivers serves over 240,000 customers in a 100-square mile radius with over 1,142 miles of pipe in Winnebago County alone, extending as far north as South Beloit, east to Boone County, south to Ogle County, and as far west as the Village of Winnebago. We utilize 36 lift stations throughout our system and we operate a 90-acre campus on Rockford’s south side, processing 40 million gallons of wastewater per day and producing over 9,000 tons of fertilizer twice per year that is used to benefit local farm fields growing cattle feed.
With the methane gas our operations produce, we meet 71% of our own energy needs, saving our customers $1 million annually and significantly lessening our carbon footprint.
At the end of the day, the water we return to the Rock River is cleaner than the water it joins. Our lab monitors our results by evaluating over 60,000 samples per year, so our citizens can rest easy knowing that Four Rivers Sanitation Authority is taking care of their needs and those of our shared environment.
