DON’T BRING: What about hazardous waste from businesses? +$55,621$9( COTTAGE GROVE Mostly Cloudy This week, Wastewater Treat- ment Plant Staff took delivery on a Teledyne-Isco Refrigerated Auto Sampler, which samples wastewater that fl ows into the plant every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. DEQ requires a 24-hour composite sample of Cottage Grove’s wastewater, which is then analyzed by plant staff in the treatment plant lab. The composite sample is tested for BOD, suspended solids, phos- phorus pH, and ammonia. The City says the automatic sampler is needed because plant staff is only on site from 8-5, seven days a week. The Isco sampler replaces a 10-year old sampler that was installed when the plant was expanded in 2006. The cost of the new sampler is approxi- mately $6,000. gram or a copy of the informa- tional brochure, which outlines the specifi c program guidelines, please call the Public Works Department at (541) 942-3349, stop by the Public Works offi ce located in City Hall, or go to the City’s website at www.cottage- grove.org.
