The LOTT Alliance's mission is to preserve and protect public health and the environment by cleaning and restoring water resources for our communities. To accomplish that mission, LOTT owns and operates wastewater and reclaimed water facilities throughout the Lacey-Olympia-Tumwater area. These include our main centralized treatment plant, a satellite reclaimed water treatment plant, a 40-acre park-like setting featuring reclaimed water ponds and groundwater recharge basins, three pump stations, and miles of main sewer interceptor pipelines.

Voted One of the Best Cities for Careers

LOTT’s office and central treatment plant are located in Olympia, Washington, between downtown and the Port of Olympia. Situated on Budd Inlet at the terminus of Puget Sound, Olympia is a great place to work, live, and play.

Olympia ranked number 6 on Kiplinger's 2009 Best Cities list, which focuses on places that have stable employment plus the talent to create new, well-paying positions. In 2010, Kiplinger rated Seattle as number 2 on their list, a mere 70 miles from Olympia. A robust job market in the Northwest makes our area a safe haven during the recession, and will give them a head start toward growth when the recovery takes off.

The community was ranked by Forbes Magazine as the 23rd Best Metropolitan Area for Business and Careers in the United States in 2009. This ranking is based on the area’s solid job growth, reasonable living and business expenses, the educational level of the local workforce, and availability of cultural and recreational opportunities.
