ELDORA—A leak in a pipeline leaving the Eldora wastewater treatment plant saw treated wastewater directed into the Iowa River last Tuesday. City Administrator Aaron Budweg said City Hall wanted to stress that the DNR was saying “treated water, not untreated” was discharged. Water being released, he said, had gone through the full treatment cycle, and there remained only a final ultraviolet light disinfecting stage.
He said that the last step had to be temporarily bypassed to allow the leak to be fixed.
