Wastewater Incident
The City of Twin Falls Public Works Department is investigating an unusual foaming event
within the municipal wastewater collection system that occurred on Sunday, March 30.
At about noon on Sunday, a significant discharge of soap or detergent entered the
City's wastewater system, leading to excessive foaming. Evidence suggests the
discharge likely originated from a commercial business. The City is seeking information
regarding the source of the discharge. Anyone who may have information related to this
incident is asked to contact the Public Works Department at 208-736-2275. Public
assistance is vital in effectively addressing this matter and preventing future costly
occurrences.

This event also serves as an important reminder to residents and businesses to not dispose
of fats, oils, greases, solids or solvents in wastewater drains, and for businesses to properly
maintain grease traps, interceptors, and other wastewater pretreatment equipment.
Businesses are encouraged to review their operational procedures to ensure compliance
with City ordinances and prevent accidental discharges that can disrupt the wastewater
collection and treatment system.
The City reminds businesses that if accidental spills or discharges occur, promptly
contacting the Public Works Department at 208-736-2275 is crucial. Early notification allows
City staff to take appropriate steps within the collection and treatment system to mitigate
potential problems. For questions regarding this incident or wastewater discharge
regulations, please visit the City website at TFID.ORG or contact the City of Twin Falls Public
Works Department at 208-736-2275.
