Board notes slight phosphorus exceedance, record low flows at Waldo wastewater plant
Summary
Waldo village staff reported a slight phosphorus exceedance for September at the wastewater treatment plant, while other effluent parameters met limits; the report also noted record low flows and several operational updates including a winter wind break for the influent sampler.
Village utility staff reported that phosphorus was “slightly over the limit” for September while all other effluent parameters met limits at the Waldo Wastewater Treatment Plant, according to minutes from the Oct. 13, 2025 Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board meeting.
The board’s September operations and lab-results report, presented by village staff, also recorded record low flows at the WWTP and described recent field work: a wind break was constructed to protect the influent sampler for winter, and the water-tower level was recalibrated with a new pressure tank. The minutes noted that Highway 57 manhole repair work is planned and that Great Lakes has an approved traffic plan and is obtaining a DOT permit; Great Lakes will bring a Vactor truck to clean the wet-well.
The report in the minutes did not record any enforcement actions or a formal vote tied to the phosphorus exceedance. The board discussed operational status and ongoing maintenance; the minutes attribute the lab-results and operations update to village staff (Bruce Neerhof, Operator-in-Charge, and Michael Hintz, DPW).
