Heber Valley Special Service District is evaluating the replacement of its wastewater treatment lagoons with mechanical plants to accommodate growth in Wasatch County. A recent $5 million dredging project removed 3,400 tons of material from the lagoons, marking the first such work in nearly 50 years.
Improvements have also included equipment upgrades and odor control measures. The district is developing a 20-year facility plan and seeks an engineering consultant by September. A study by Utah's Department of Health and Human Services from 2024-2025 found no harmful levels of hydrogen sulfide near the lagoons. The transition could significantly impact local residents and the environment as the district aims for a more robust treatment system.
