Show District Faces Fines FARMINGTON The Central Davis Sewer Improvement Improve-ment District came under attack by the Utah Water Pollution Pol-lution Committee meeting in Farmington last week and was told to "clean up its sewage or face possible fines." STATE OFFICIALS said the district must clean up its problems resulting in raw sewage sew-age bypassing the treatment plant or the state could impose fines of up to $10,000 per day. This was not the first warning warn-ing against the sewer improvement improve-ment district, according to state officials. They said the district was called before the committee less than a year ago to explain why it was not complying com-plying with state and federal regulations concerning its treatment operations. AS A result, district representatives repre-sentatives have been summoned sum-moned to meet Thursday (May 8) in Denver with the federal Environmental Protection Agency. According to the committee's commit-tee's study, the district is in violation of several health and safety requirements by allowing allow-ing raw sewage to bypass the plant, located in west Farming-ton Farming-ton near the Great Salt Lake, and discharge into Bear Creek or irrigation ditches. THE STATE staff outlined five major problems the district dis-trict must correct and told district dis-trict officials that they must report re-port immediately any future problems. The district has been charged with failing to comply with some of the problems prob-lems and failing to immediately report other problems, grb |
