Contractors at the Kingwood Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, pictured here on Feb. 17, doctored samples to make it seem like they adequately treated sewage, which was released into Bens Branch, a waterway that directly feeds Lake Houston.were doctoring samples and records to suggest they adequately had treated sewage when they had not, Houston police allege in newly released court records.

Houston police declined further comment, citing the active criminal investigation.Stay updated on important stories and news to know around Kingwood, Humble and AtascocitaCity officials first visited the plant on Jan.
“The purported sample reported by Envirodyne the day prior had only 135 MPN/100 ml,” the search warrant said. Envirodyne is a laboratory that tests the samples at the plant. Busby Environmental is the subcontractor that takes the samples to Envirodyne. "This is contrary to what was seen and photographed by Jeffrey Farrell on 2/2/23 as the sampler was frozen solid and could not have taken a sample," the affidavit says.
It is not clear who submitted the allegedly forged samples to the lab. Reid told police the company knew there were freezing issues with the sampler and it would"be checked daily either by the sampling team or the operator," which is Inframark. The log sheets at the plant include entries for checking the sampler, and they were among the items Houston police were authorized to seize in Friday's search.
