THE ALBUQUERQUE-BERNALILLO COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY WILL NOT FACE ANY FINES FOR THE SPILL LAST FEBRUARY THAT SENT ABOUT SIX MILLION GALLONS OF PARTIALLY TREATED WASTEWATER IN TO THE RIO GRANDE. A MALFUNCTION AT THE SOUTHSIDE RECLAMATION PLANT CAUSED THE SPILL.
WATER UTILITY SPOKESMAN DAVID MORRIS SAYS THE E-PA HAS ISSUED TWO ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS OUTLINING WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. HE SAYS MANY OF THE ITEMS IN THE ORDERS ARE PART OF THE 10 YEAR, 250 MILLION DOLLAR OVERHAUL OF THE PLANT WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1962.
