ST. GEORGE — An investigation into a sewer company that allegedly dumped human waste illegally in Southern Utah has resulted in three arrests, including the company’s owner.
The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the A-Action company on July 15 after receiving a report that the company “had been possibly dumping human waste off a dirt road, by the Asay river, approximately 3 to 4 miles south of the town of Hatch,” according to a police booking affidavit.
The person reporting the alleged offense “had placed trail cameras in the area that the human waste was being dumped and was able to get pictures of the sewer company truck in the area,” the affidavit states.
An investigator went to the area and found several sites “where it appeared human waste had been dumped,” and although several of the sites were older, “there was a smell consistent with raw sewage,” according to the affidavit. At least one of the waste dumping sites appeared to still be fresh, the deputy noted.
