(Salt Lake City, Utah) – The Central Weber Sewer Improvement District (CWSID) is experiencing a sanitary sewer overflow problem due to heavy rainfall. To relieve the overflow problem and prevent sewage from backing up into homes, CWSID is discharging untreated sewage from an overwhelmed lift station into a ditch at 2700 North and 2600 West in Farr West. The ditch discharges into the Weber River.
This remedy will continue until the sanitary sewer overflow problem is under control. As a health precaution, the public is advised to stay away from the ditch and Weber River.
Environmental health specialists from the Weber-Morgan Health Department have been assisting CWSID with this situation and Utah Division of Water Quality personnel will monitor the discharge for impacts to the Weber River. Impacts to the environment are not yet known.
