Water reclamation is the process of renewing wastewater so that it can return safely to the natural environment.

The Holland Board of Public Works views this responsibility as part of a circular economy, where there is no waste. Our vision is that everything processed at the Water Reclamation Facility becomes beneficial. Nothing truly disappears from the environment, so we strive to take care of every piece of it.

Holland BPW is proud to announce that the anaerobic digester earned an ENVISION Gold rating for sustainability.

Our Water Reclamation Facility sits on River Ave near the banks of Lake Macatawa. Because of its location, this wastewater treatment plant is limited in physical space for future expansion. To care for the resources we have and extend the life of our current wastewater infrastructure without requiring additional investments, we pay close attention to the capacity of our wastewater facility.

The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) treats wastewater from the City of Holland and portions of the five adjacent townships (Holland Charter, Park, Fillmore, Laketown and Zeeland). 

City council approved rates for Holland City Fiber project. Internet services will roll out as they become available.

Construction of the City of Holland’s municipally-owned fiber network is underway. Crews are constructing the passings network throughout the City of Holland. 

Holland BPW is building fiberhoods in the City of Holland. Construction begins soon!

There are three key phases before we can light up Fiber Internet Service: design, construction, installation.

Holland BPW’s core function is to provide outstanding utility services and to operate infrastructure - that includes 30 years of experience with fiber optic broadband.

Fiber-optic broadband is the highest quality infrastructure for broadband available. Constructed of tiny transparent fibers, information travels through the cable at the speed of light.

The people of Holland voted to make a community investment in a high-speed fiber optic broadband network that will be available to every address in the city. 

Holland BPW welcomes Bill Badran, Broadband Services Supervisor. Bill will be integral in the activities related to building the infrastructure for Holland City Fiber.

On August 2, 2022, the people of Holland voted to make a community-investment in a high-speed fiber optic broadband network that will be available to every address in the city.

Most internet services currently operate on copper wire cable networks that transfer information using electrical signals. Fiber optic networks transfer information through strands of glass in a cable using the invisible light spectrum. Each cable has multiple strands, so like cars on a highway, fiber can support more traffic at higher speeds, allowing information to quickly move on and off the road.
