| Columbus Water Works (South WRF) | 2025-02-12 | Muscogee | Columbus | 3001 S. Lumpkin Rd. | 0 | Treated Effluent | GA0020516 | WWTP | On February 11th, a storm system entered the Columbus area which led to elevated flows at our South Columbus Water Resource (SCWRF) facility. Catastrophic failures with the solids removal systems within three of our six primary settling basins led to the primaries being overloaded, which, in turn, allowed a massive amount of solids to pass into the secondary treatment train (aeration and clarification). On February 12th, the SCWRF experienced an effluent TSS violation with a result of 154mg/l, and again, on February 13th, with a result of 77mg/l. The lab results were reported to me on February 20th. | Chattahoochee | Chattahoochee River |
