Published October 19, 2007 09:20 pm - Raw sewage bypassed in Fairfield due to heavy rains By Mark Newman, Courier staff writer FAIRFIELD — Heavy rains led to raw sewage entering the environment Thursday.
The city of Fairfield bypassed more than 877,000 gallons of wastewater after receiving 2.75 inches of rain Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The bypasses occurred Wednesday night, then wastewater overflowed again from midnight to 3:30 a.m. Thursday. Discharges flowed into Crow and Cedar creeks. City crews cleaned several sites Thursday, and areas where wastewater had overflowed were limed. Cities are required to report wastewater discharges to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
