Wisconsin Cheese Fined for Water Violation | Madison News

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

Wisconsin Cheese Group got slapped with a $237,500 fine after dumping untreated wastewater into the city’s sewer system 19 times between June 2022 and November 2022 — a blatant violation of the Clean Water Act that landed them in federal court. The judge called their actions “entirely avoidable” and labeled them a “neighborhood polluter.” Beyond the hefty penalty, they’re now on a year-long probation, required to upgrade their facility, and must work closely with state regulators on future permits — a stark warning that environmental rules aren’t optional.
