The pretreatment program is a regional activity implemented jointly by the cities of Eugene and Springfield. The Industrial Pretreatment section of the Environmental Services Division administers the regulation and oversight of wastewaters discharged to the sanitary collection system by industries in Springfield. The section is responsible for ensuring that these wastes do not damage the collection system, interfere with wastewater treatment processes, result in the pass-through of harmful pollutants to treated effluent or biosolids, or threaten worker health or safety.

The Industrial Pretreatment section is responsible for locating new industrial discharges in Springfield, and establishes inspection, monitoring, and reporting requirements for documenting wastewater quality and quality controls for significant industrial users under permit in Springfield.
