DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean
Water Act
On December 10, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Illinois in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of
Illinois v. City of Cahokia Heights, Civil Action No. 24-2591.
The United States and State of Illinois filed a complaint against
the City of Cahokia Heights (the ``City'). The complaint alleges that
the City has discharged sewage from its sewage collection system into
the local waterways without a permit, in violation of the Clean Water
Act (``CWA''). Under the proposed consent decree filed along with the
complaint, the City will implement comprehensive changes to its sewer
system intended to bring the City into compliance with the CWA,
including capital improvement projects, and changes to its operation
and maintenance practices.
