Untreated Wastewater in Mississippi Tributary Posted 21 July 2008 Over 2,000 gallons of untreated wastewater accidentally found its way into a tributary of the Mississippi River in Lansing earlier this week. Due to mechanical problems, two pumps at a wastewater pumping station on Fourth Street in Lansing failed Thursday morning, July 17. As a result, its estimated nearly 2,500 gallons of untreated wastewater discharged from the city's system. Lansing city workers shut down the pumping station and replaced the pumps. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is cautioning people, as well as their pets, to avoid the tributary through the weekend. The City of Lansing is in the process of building a new wastewater treatment facility.
