There’s good news from the wastewater treatment plant in Salisbury.
It’s working.
Mayor Jake Day said that levels of nitrogen and phosphorus over the last two months have dropped more sharply than the current permit allows.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Day said these results come despite the fact that some parts of the plant have not yet come on line.
The plant has undergone some $52 million in upgrades after failing to meet environmental requirements since 2005.
Upgrades to the plant are expected to be completed by May.
