In late April, Maintenance Mechanic Bob Petersen and Biologist John Johnston worked on “One of the dirtiest jobs in America”. 

It is odiferous and messy, but it is sorely needed after a long winter of fish propagation. 

Jordan River’s discharge permit requires an annual cleaning of the water treatment basin.  Petersen finds it easier to do three times a year.  The basin works most efficiently when clean (small quantity of its capacity in use).
