    Complaint Description and Writeup

    Good evening,
    I realize it’s a holiday week, but we have been smelling raw sewage again from Limestone (our wastewater treatment plant here in River Rest in Franklin). Jordan, you came out and helped us the last time this happened. I really appreciated it and am concerned we have the same issues.

    There was a moving stream of waste water from the plant heading towards the soccer fields which inevitably ends in our creek which feeds into the Harpeth River after about 150 yards. Please come check it out, since they purchased the plant from Cartwright Creek a couple of years ago, there have been virtually no upgrades. I know they were over capacity years ago, and there have been out of county private sewage trucks dumping at the facility. I am certain you will find violations. I am attaching a picture of the truck which operates out of Gallatin.

    On 3-JAN-25: DGP observed the facility's main lift station to the treatment plant had failed, current contractors are providing appropriate bypasses in order to repair the lift station. No conditions of pollution were observed in surrounding wet-weather conveyances or receiving streams. Provided update to complainant via email.
