Wastewater

Bud Howard, the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District's director of information services, says scientists anticipated a signifiant amount of traces of the virus in the sewage system — and in the community.

Controlled releases of treated water may begin if levels in the ponds at the former phosphate plant continue to rise, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

One commissioner said the well is a better option than having millions more gallons of wastewater dumped into Tampa Bay.

It's partly attributed to cars on the numerous bridges in the area that are helping to feed algae blooms.

The plan would dump highly treated wastewater downstream from the city's drinking water intake pipes on the Hillsborough River.
