SEWER LINE BREAK AT NEWTON CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

Sewer line break at Newton Correctional Facility

Work is continuing to fix a break in the sanitary sewer line at the Newton Correctional Facility.  The Iowa DNR says the break was reported around noon Friday (3/29).  Officials with the Facility say raw wastewater had reached Sewer Creek, which is a tributary to the South Skunk River.  Until the main is repaired, a contractor has been hired to haul the waste from the facility to the wastewater treatment plant in Newton.
