In July, 2020 the Weiser Wastewater Treatment Plant upgraded several electrical panels at the Galloway Lift Station. The old control panel was decommissioned, and a new panel was installed. In addition, a new generator switch gear was replaced so that we can ensure proper power transfer at the Lift Station in case we need to utilize the generator in an emergency.

On July 8th, 2020 the Wastewater Plant; in cooperation with Anderson Excavation, LLC, began replacing the 8″ concrete sanitary sewer line on East 4th by Memorial Park. The old line served the citizens of Weiser for over 50-years and is being replaced with 8″ SDR-35 line. A total of 1300 feet of new line and one new manhole is being installed. The houses that connect to the main line with get new taps as the line is being replaced. We appreciate the publics patience during that time. The project was completed on July 30, 2020.

Council School District took the time to stop by the Weiser Wastewater Treatment Plant on October 24, 2019 to tour our upgraded Wastewater Treatment Plant. Lonnie Chambers and Matthew Townsend gave the students, teachers and parents a tour to help educate them on the importance of taking care of the environment, and what an unique role we play in helping to keep the waters of the state clean and re-useable. The students were great and had lots of good questions for our staff. We welcome anyone from the public to contact us if they are interested in taking a tour of our plant. We are always glad to make accommodations.

THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER FLUSH

Having to call a plumber to take a look at your toilet or drain because they have been clogged can be embarrassing and quite a hassle. Even though it may seem like common sense what can and can’t be flushed and put down the drain, this is a topic that is often overlooked or taken for granted. With that said, this guide will first discuss what you can and can’t flush down the toilet, followed by what you can and can’t put down the drain.

This is quite simple, actually. The only three things that really should ever be flushed down the toilet is urine, fecal matter, and toilet paper. It definitely isn’t rocket science, but yet people flush plenty of other things that they think they can get away with all the time! Items like Kleenex, paper towels, and tissue paper, for example, should not ever be flushed. They may seem like they’re in the same family as toilet paper, but they take a lot longer to break down in the sewer system, thus, causing sewage blockages.

Some other things that you may be tempted to flush but shouldn’t include:
