Earlier this year, the water reclamation district [BNWRD] threatened disconnection and revocation of the wastewater discharge permit for Akshar, when the company didn't respond to questions about wastewater flowing into sewers. This also followed disputes with the City of Bloomington, an injunction to stop recycling, and hefty city fines.

BNWRD director Tim Ervin said Akshar has now complied with the majority of the orders and hopes to finish final items by the end of July.
