The City of Olean has been accused of
neglecting its sewage treatment system for over a decade. Public Works director
Tom Windus said that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation has
been pressing the city to make good on a 2001 order to fix problems in the
sewage treatment system, which have had the potential to release untreated sewage
into the Allegheny River. The city could face $200 million in fines if they
don’t take action soon. Corrective legislation was on the agenda for last
night’s common council meeting.
