The Metropolitan Sewer District plans to build an anaerobic digestion facility to process solids left over after wastewater treatment.

A power failure at the Mill Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant earlier this month caused partially treated and untreated waste to be released into the Mill Creek and Ohio River for a few days.

Utility rates for the Metropolitan Sewer District could go up for the first time in eight years. Commissioners say they weren't briefed on the proposed rate increase until last Thursday, leaving very little time to get public input.
