The North Kent Sewer Authority provides reliable, sustainable wastewater treatment for northern Kent County — safeguarding public health, preserving natural resources, and supporting a clean, thriving environment for generations to come.
The Northern Kent Sewer Authority (NKSA) was established in December 1997 through a partnership between the City of Rockford and the Townships of Plainfield Charter, Alpine, Cannon, and Courtland.
NKSA was created to manage, maintain, and improve the area’s sanitary sewer collection and transportation systems. As our communities grew, so did our mission. Today, NKSA also operates the state-of-the-art PARCC Side Clean Water Plant, a modern wastewater treatment facility that helps protect our local environment and support sustainable growth.
We protect local rivers, lakes, and groundwater through advanced treatment technologies and strict environmental standards.
We work hand-in-hand with local governments, residents, and businesses to support sustainable growth.
NKSA is committed to open communication, fiscal responsibility, and public service excellence.
