Riley County Commissioners on Monday unanimously agreed to an Environmental Protection Agency order that sets a compliance timeline for the University Park Sewer Benefit District. The University Park Sewer Benefit District treats domestic wastewater from district residents and landowners that is discharged into Tuttle Creek Lake. According to meeting documents, the EPA has found that the facility is failing to comply with sewage limitations and failing to conduct analysis properly. During an inspection, an EPA representative found that the pH standards of the chlorine secondary standards in the facility laboratory were out of date, the facility’s analytical equipment was not calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and facility personnel did not keep records of when the equipment was calibrated.
