Vermont Business Magazine A new incident has been reported (or existing incident has been modified) for Essex Junction Wastewater Treatment Facility in Essex Junction. The Vermont Watershed Management in the Department of Environmental Conservation at ANR reports incidents of discharges from wastewater treatment facilities, usually related to heavy rain.

The following are Public Alerts submitted by Wastewater Treatment Facilities for prompt public awareness of untreated discharges and their locations. These alerts have been directly reported by Wastewater Treatment Facilities and may have not yet been reviewed by the State. Wastewater Treatment facilities are required to submit a public alert as soon as possible, but no longer than one hour from discovery of an untreated discharge from the wastewater treatment facility. This time requirement is extended to no longer than four hours if the operator does not have telephone or internet service at the location or they are working to control or stop the untreated discharge. Additional details regarding sewage overflows and incidents are required to be reported within 12 hours of discovery and available below.
