Lyon County Utilities has received a comprehensive engineering report from AtkinsRealis, revealing significant design flaws in the Aspen Creek Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIBs), which have hindered the system’s ability to meet its designed effluent disposal capacity.
As a result, effective immediately, Lyon County does not have the effluent disposal capacity to support additional growth within the Dayton Sewer Service Area and, therefore, cannot issue new will-serve letters, final maps, or building permits for developments in Dayton that will contribute additional sewer flows until a solution is identified and implemented.
