Livermore Falls town officials have been put on notice about untreated sewage getting into Clay Brook. The state Department of Environmental Protection sent a Notice of Violation dated Aug. 26 to the town Sewer Department because of untreated sewage going into Clay Brook. Superintendent Mark Holt assumed responsibility over the town’s wastewater treatment plant and collection system in June. While checking the four pump stations in town July 6, Holt discovered the station in the Shuy Corner area was pumping raw sewage into the brook that runs under the road near The Lunch Pad restaurant and eventually drains into the Androscoggin River. Holt took immediate action, including mitigation and notifying the DEP.
