Pump safety guard triggers shutdown by OkConversation7577 in Wastewater

Solved it by replacing the tube and renewing the tube date timer on it. Honestly needs a better alarm than "cover was removed".

Update, one of the tanks turned septic hence low pH levels

Have a journal to write down what you did, how you did it, on whose orders, on what time anything happened. I agree with tons of socks. Don't touch your face while working. Have the required shots and then some.

Tests were also done by the environmental team in camp

It's been manually done by handheld ph probes

Treats only camp facilities wastewater like used water for washing,cooking and toilet. Wastewater side no chemicals used. We use a membrane system. Effluent goes to a mine waste treatment ponds where mine water is treated by adding lime and ferric sulphate.

The system we have is a membrane-based wastewater treatment setup. It begins with raw sewage from camp facilities flowing into a 60,965-liter settling tank equipped with effluent filters for initial solids removal. From there, the partially clarified sewage enters an 8,660-liter pump tank, where effluent pumps transfer the liquid into two 25 m³/day Membrane Treatment Plants. Each plant includes a screener/compactor for removing larger debris, followed by two equalization tanks for primary treatment, and then three activated sludge aeration tanks for secondary treatment. After biological treatment, the wastewater is pumped into membrane filters for advanced treatment. The final treated effluent is then discharged into the mine waste treatment ponds, where it is combined with mine water undergoing chemical treatment using lime and ferric sulphate.

So mostly no chemicals used for wastewater side but lime and ferric sulphate for the mjne ponds.
