City Sees Sewage Bypass From Illegal AC Discharges
City Administrator Lloyd Castner says a small percentage of untreated sewage bypasses the treatment plant due to overload from illegal air conditioner connections. The 28th Avenue sewer runs at capacity during peak times, causing basement backups south of 1th Street. A pump at 28th Avenue and 11th Street diverts excess to the storm sewer, totaling about 1 percent of the city’s sewage. The system has been overloaded about a week to 10 days as efforts to trace the AC discharge continue.
