Sponsored by Utah State Water Quality Board
We are excited to announce upcoming improvements to Hanksville's sewer lagoon system, a crucial infrastructure project aimed at ensuring continued service for our residents while protecting our local environment.
Project Overview
This project is wholly or partially funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and sponsored by the Utah State Water Quality Board.
Why This Project is Needed
On September 1, 2001, a significant flood event caused damage to the lagoon embankments and deposited sediment into the system. Without proper reinforcement, future flood events could compromise the lagoons, posing risks to both our community and the surrounding ecosystem.
Project Goals
Implement an engineered solution to protect the lagoons from future flood damage.
Ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the sewer system for Hanksville residents.
Prevent untreated sewage from entering the environment.
This project is a vital step in strengthening our town’s infrastructure for the future. We appreciate the support of the Utah State Water Quality Board and the EPA in making these improvements possible.
