City crews will begin emergency repairs Monday on a broken 60-inch effluent discharge line. The work which involves excavating, removing, and replacing segments of the broken concrete pipe.

During this period, domestic waste water entering the plant will receive primary treatment, and then be discharged to the Missouri River. High strength industrial flows will continue to receive full secondary treatment before being discharged.

The city says the Public should avoid contact with River water in the designated posted area. The work should be completed by Thursday.
