Colfax to Upgrade Wastewater Plant to Avoid Fines
Colfax City Council moved to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant after years of illegal discharges. A bid package includes dewatering a storage pond and about $27,000 in equipment for a mini-plant. City Manager Bob Perrault cites nine potential violations and aims to automate chlorination, improve sulfating, and install an alarm. Local residents Allen and Nancy Edwards urged caution on rushing the project.
