District of Stewart - Impacts to Wastewater System
JAN 13, 2026
District of Stewart Winter Storm Update - Impacts to Wastewater System:
The repairs to the ruptured Sewer Force Main line are underway. In the interim the ability of the system to evacuate wastewater to the lagoons is limited. This along with the extreme precipitation Stewart has encountered is amplifying the strain to the infrastructure.
During the repair, the community is requested to limit impacts to the system by not operating appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, running taps, ect.), that would further send wastewater through the District's burdened infrastructure.
The District appreciates your support as we work to keep our community safe.
