(Council Bluffs) The City of Council Bluffs began discharging wastewater from the I-80 Sanitary Pump Station at 5 a.m. today (Tuesday). The discharge is necessary to repair a damaged force main. Repairs will be conducted as quickly as possible but may take several days.
Council Bluffs estimates they will discharge approximately four million gallons of untreated wastewater per day during the repairs.
The public should avoid contact with the Missouri River downstream from Interstate 80.
