By Davis Raile NonStop Local Multimedia Journalist,
3 days agoPASCO, Wash. — Pasco declared an emergency over problems at its process water reuse facility after city leaders raised concerns about how part of the system was performing. Public Works Director Maria Serra reported at a meeting last week that a system used to remove nitrogen from wastewater was not meeting its performance criteria. City officials said that raised concerns about possible groundwater contamination and compliance with the Department of Ecology discharge permit. Serra explained the declaration was meant to speed up the city’s response as officials worked on a fix.
