Erik Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I work at the Drinking water plant in Elgin. My boss has asked them to notify us in the event of an untreated release...as of yesterday (2/26) he hadn't heard anything. This doesn't necessarily mean anything because they have failed to notify us in the past, and they are a little downstream of us. We get notified of untreated releases of wastewater Upstream of our plant pretty frequently. I believe they are required by the EPA to notify us. You guys would be suprised how often this happens. Algonquin and C'ville have done it frequently in the almost 10 years I've worked there. Usually during heavy rainfall or snow melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest airbornemike Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Eric thanks for digg'n up the goods on this one, I wonder why the FRWRD is not required to notify the general public when this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
