Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission
THIS SECOND RESTATED AND AMENDED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (the
"Agreement") is made as of this_ day of _____ , 2026 (the "Effective Date"), by and between
the City of Springfield , an Oregon municipal corporation ("Springfield"), the City of Eugene, an Oregon
municipal corporation ("Eugene"), and Lane County, a political subdivision of the State of Oregon
("County). Springfield, Eugene, and the County are collectively referred to herein as the "Parties" and
individually a "Paity."
RECITALS
A. Each of the Cities has adopted, with County co-adoption, an urban growth boundary within
which urban services may be provided . Each urban growth boundary includes the land that has
been incorporated into that City (urban lands) and certain unincorporated areas surrounding the
City which lie entirely within the County (urbanizable land).
B. The combined area within the Cities ' urban growth boundaries, as they are now or hereafter
established , is a metropolitan area because of its urban or urbanizable character and the close
interrelationship between the two Cities and all paits of the area.
C. The urban character of the area makes high quality wastewater treatment necessary.
D. In order to plan for wastewater collection and treatment on a unified basis within their urban and
urbanizable areas , the Parties entered into an agreement January 8, 1974, establishing the
Metropolitan Sewer Advisory Commission.
E. The Parties then entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement to establish the Metropolitan
Wastewater Management Commission ("MWMC ") as the replacement for the Metropolitan
Sewer Advisory Commission effective February 9, 1977 (the "Original Agreement"), which was
amended effective January 4 , 1978 , February 16 , 1982, July 19 , 1991, and April 3, 1998.
F. The Original Agreement, as amended, was then restated and amended effective July 5, 2005 (the
"First Restated Agreement") and, at that time , the Parties took action to create the MWMC as an
"intergovernmental entity " pursuant to ORS 190.010 , 190 .080 and 190.085. The First Restated
Agreement was amended effective March 19 , 2018.
G. The Cities have the authority under their charters to provide for all aspects of wastewater
collection and treatment and are concerned that it be provided adequately in their environs to
prevent health hazards .
H. The County , under its charter, has extensive duties under state laws regarding public sanitation ,
and is concerned about hazards to public health that arise from inadequate wastewater collection
and treatment in the area.
I. Under their charters and the Oregon Revised Statutes , the Cities and County may cooperate in
providing wastewater collection and treatment and may enter into contracts to carry on that
function jointly or by transferring the function to one of the governmental units .
J. The Cities and the County are determined to provide wastewater collection and treatment on a
unified basis within the cities ' urban growth boundaries.

Exhibit 1
K. Each City provides for the local collection of wastewater through that City's local wastewater
conveyance system. These local collection facilities connect to a regional system of wastewater

facilities (which do not include private laterals which convey wastewater from individual
residential or commercial/industrial connections) convey wastewater to a regional treatment
facilities system owned by the MWMC.
L. The Parties adopt this Agreement in compliance with ORS 190 .010 to reaffirm the creation and
continuance of the MWMC, an intergovernmental entity with the powers described in ORS
190.080. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the First Restated Agreement, as
