Bloomington wastewater plant receives A grades; board approves 2025 CMAR submission to DNR
Summary
The Bloomington Wastewater Treatment Facility earned A grades across categories in its 2025 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report; the board approved submission of the CMAR to the Wisconsin DNR and thanked plant operators for recent improvements.
Larry Gates, Utility Director for the City of Prairie du Chien, presented the 2025 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) for the Bloomington Wastewater Treatment Facility and reported A grades across influent, BOD, suspended solids, effluent and the collection system. The only reportable issue was use of a bypass trash pump during heavy rainfall in July 2025 when inflow and infiltration exceeded pump capacity.
Gates praised Director Leitzinger and operators for operational improvements — including an energy audit, alum addition for phosphorus control, diffuser replacements and blower work — that improved plant efficiency. The board voted to approve the CMAR for submission to the Wisconsin DNR.
