Crews to conduct maintenance tests at Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant
A routine maintenance test will be conducted Wednesday for the 1-mile outfall from the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, which was the site of a massive sewage spill this summer. The plant annually tests its three bypass gates to ensure they are properly functioning. During the tests, which will occur Wednesday and Thursday from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., 250,000 gallons of fully treated and disinfected wastewater will be released through the 1-mile outfall and then pumped back into the plant before reaching the ocean.
