Waldo utility report: effluent within limits; DNR inspection report pending
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board heard the May operations report stating all effluent parameters met and phosphorus remained below permit limits; members were told a Highway 57 manhole repair is planned for late June and the board is awaiting written findings from a DNR 3-year inspection.
The Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board received its May utility operations and lab report at the June 9, 2025 meeting, which recorded that all effluent parameters met permit standards and that phosphorus remained under the permitted limits. The minutes state the annual operational evaluation for phosphorus required by the WPDES permit has been submitted and the board is awaiting a response from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The report, as entered in the minutes, said staff flushed the recirculating sand filters and replaced the pulse board on the Mission unit; systems were reported as functioning normally. The influent sampler was repositioned so the suction tubing drains more vertically to reduce the risk of winter freezing. The minutes also record that the 3-year DNR water system inspection has been completed and the board is waiting for the DNR’s written report.
Board members were informed that a Highway 57 manhole repair will be scheduled for late June when drier conditions are expected; the minutes attribute that scheduling update to Brett Healy. The minutes do not name who presented the full operations report to the board, and no direct quotes are recorded.
No formal action was taken on operational matters at the meeting; the report was entered into the record and staff follow-up was noted. Next procedural steps recorded in the minutes are awaiting the DNR inspection report and, separately, the later scheduling of the Highway 57 repair.
