ELLICOTT, CO — Students and staff in the Ellicott School District are staying home again Thursday for continued sewage problems.
All three Ellicott schools and the admin building are located on the same property. That's why the entire district has to shut down.
The superintendent of the district says it's because of continued sewage problems. He tells us Ellicott Utilities is working on solutions right now and pointed us to their website.
That website says no discharge or contamination has happened, and the problem is with the lift station. That's what connects the school district to the utilities wastewater system.

Ellicott Utilities also tells us both the primary and backup pumps on that lift station are out. Crews are working with the district for a repair.
We reached out to the superintendent Thursday morning to see if after-school activities are canceled as well. We're waiting to hear back, as soon as we do, we'll let you know.
