Our History

West Branch Water Reclamation District, formerly named the Wheaton Sanitary District, was created in 1925 under the Sanitary District Act of 1917. In 1926, it began treating wastewater on a 35 acre site located on Shaffner Road just north of Mack Road.

 

ENSURING YOUR SERVICE REMAINS OPTIMAL

Why The Name Change?

This new name more accurately reflects who we are and the communities we serve.

The District is an independent unit of local government that provides wastewater conveyance and treatment services to most of the City of Wheaton, as well as portions of Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Winfield, and unincorporated DuPage County.

The name “West Branch” better represents the broader service area of the District and our role in regional water reclamation.
