**BRADENTON, Fla. ** - The City of [Bradenton's](https://www. fox13news. com/tag/us/fl/manatee/bradenton) wastewater treatment system usually processes five to seven million gallons per day. The recent heavy rains, however, pushed that up to 27 million gallons, which overwhelmed the system and caused partially treated wastewater to be discharged into the Manatee River.
Those discharges have stopped, and city officials said millions of dollars in projects are well underway at the City of Bradenton's Water Reclamation Facility. "We want people to know there have been projects going on and in the works for quite some time," said Bradenton Mayor Gene Brown.
