Nehalem Bay Wastewater Agency(NBWA) has a service area that covers Nehalem, Manzanita, Wheeler, and Neah-Kah-Nie.  NBWA is a public utility that handles wastewater only.  Our system has over 75 miles of gravity pipeline, nearly 1200 manholes/clean-outs, and 19 Lift stations.  The sewage is treated at our Treatment Plant in Nehalem through the Lagoon System.
