East Orosi remains clogged in wastewater woes

Posted on May 1, 2024

Eva Dominguez, a manager for Self-Help Enterprises, said the latest problem – one of three recent incidents – has to do with the city’s antiquated septic system and foreign objects being introduced to it.

“There have been instances where metal things, a screw, made it into the pumps for the lift station that push the waste out towards Orosi,” she said. The objects foul the pumps, resulting in solid waste entering a pipeline that is wholly inadequate to handle the volume.
