Sioux City to pay $300,000 and upgrade wastewater plant by 2036 after falsifying pollution tests from 2012 to 2015.
Sioux City has agreed to a $300,000 settlement with Iowa over allegations that it falsified wastewater test results and discharged polluted water into the Missouri River from 2012 to 2015.
The case stemmed from a 2015 whistleblower report and a 2022 state lawsuit, leading to criminal charges against two former employees.
As part of the consent order, the city must complete key upgrades to its wastewater treatment plant by 2036, including a UV disinfection system by December 2025, with daily fines of $5,000 for missed deadlines.
The city acknowledged past violations without authorization but emphasized current compliance and ongoing infrastructure improvements.
