DRIGGS, Idaho — On Tuesday, Nov. 7, Driggs’ City Council accepted the draft analysis for a new wastewater treatment plant that will utilize a more efficient living biological process in order to mitigate ammonia discharge issues.
Dave Noel, an engineer for Forsgren Associates, presented an in-depth facility plan for the updated wastewater treatment plant to the city council. The draft was unanimously accepted and the city now begins the long process of securing Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) approval, applying for funding and drafting plans for the design and construction.
