Amid concerns over the wastewater treatment plant near Midway, Heber Valley Special Service District Manager Jim Goodley says work is underway to improve existing facilities and plan new ones. Midway residents who live near the wastewater lagoons have long complained the smell disrupts daily life and makes them feel sick, especially in springtime when the weather warms. In response, the service district dredged 3,400 tons of material from the lagoons from November 2025 through February 2026. In addition to immediate fixes, the service district is also in the early stages of a 20-year facility plan. “I think it’s time to move on to a more robust treatment system.”
