After anonymous complaint, Denton board restricts access to treatment plant and clarifies operator duties
Summary
Following a reported anonymous complaint to NEDWEE, the board adopted a rule that only licensed operators or village maintenance employees may enter the treatment plant; maintenance staff without a license may record readings but may not alter water quality or processes.
The board addressed an anonymous sanitary sewer and public water complaint at the Dec. 1 meeting and approved tighter access controls for the treatment plant.
Chair Joe Hobelman reported the anonymous NEDWEE complaint and the board resolved that anyone entering the treatment plant must either be a licensed operator or a Village maintenance employee. The minutes specify that maintenance employees who lack an operator’s license are permitted to record readings but are not authorized to alter water quality, quantity, or treatment processes.
Minutes indicate the maintenance staff is working with WRT to return the treatment plant to normal operation. The board did not record a formal disciplinary action; the entry focuses on access and role limits intended to protect water quality and ensure compliance with operator responsibilities.
