Wastewater Spill Notice: Waimea Wastewater Treatment Plant
Our take
The Waimea Wastewater Treatment Plant experienced a contained spill due to overflow from the effluent tank following biological treatment and UV disinfection. This incident was successfully isolated on-site; however, a small amount may have entered nearby drainage ditches, which do not connect to State waters. To ensure safety and environmental protection, additional disinfection measures have been implemented in the affected areas. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to maintaining the health of our community and ecosystem during this situation.
