Knox Wastewater Concerns Continue

The City of Knox is urging residents to take precautions for possible sewage backups. As of Friday morning, the Knox Wastewater Treatment Plant is running above capacity, according to Mayor Dennis Estok. He’s still asking residents and businesses to reduce consumption and use of water and make sure basement and bathroom floor drains are plugged.

Estok says businesses may remain open and operate normally. Those with questions may call the Mayor’s Office at 574-772-4553.
