Local municipal wastewater plants showed varying trends in compliance from 2021 through 2023.
Three of the six local wastewater treatment facilities violated their permits last year.
An Aug. 15 report published by nonprofit Idaho Conservation League found that 58% of Idaho sewage facilities failed to comply with federal Clean Water Act regulations in 2023.
Among the violators were the Priest River, Kootenai-Ponderay, and Sandpoint facilities.
