Central Wastewater Treatment Plant over allegations the operator, Inframark, falsified government documents and compliance samples.
"Upon investigation, Houston Public Works discovered irregularities in both plant operations and corresponding regulatory compliance data and referred the matter to the HPD’s Environmental Crimes Unit and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Environmental Crimes Unit," said a spokesperson from the City of Houston.
For one family near the water plant, the smell was so bad, they called an exterminator thinking something was in their home. Houston City Councilmember and Mayor Pro Tem, Dave Martin, has been looking into the issue for weeks. According to Martin, he recently visited the treatment plant and noticed some unusual things.
