LAFAYETTE, Ind. A nearly $12 million project is building on Lafayette s efforts to stop sewage from entering the Wabash River.
In the past, when Lafayette s combined sewer and storm water systems became overwhelmed by rain and snow melt, the overflow was redirected to the Wabash River. But several projects are changing that.
As News 18 previously reported, the city has added several massive underground storage tanks to hold the excess storm water and sewage until it can be redirected to the water treatment plant.
