By Chris Ulicne
Bulletin Staff Writer
Latrobe Municipal Authority (LMA) Board on Tuesday approved a
$7,040.50 payment to Gibson-Thomas Engineering Co. Inc. for continued
work on the Act 537 Plan update, a proposal to upgrade the Latrobe
sewer system to comply with government requirements for sewage
treatment.
Tom Gray, LMA manager, previously has explained that in the early part
of the last decade, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) deemed the LMA wastewater treatment plant
"organically and hydraulically overloaded," meaning that levels of
both organic waste and excess water during rainy periods going through
the plant are too high. In addition, the number of annual sewage
overflows from the system is far above the state-accepted limit.(For more details, see today's Bulletin)
