The comments in the original article imply that the plant closing was due to the high costs of disposal of what the state called “industrial waste”, but which was really just water with a tiny bit of ice cream in it. The commenters argue that the costs were inflated because of a state policy to centralize sewage treatment at a facility far away. Sound like Breyers would have been better off treating their own waste water.

I saw that after I voted. I still blame the unions though...they helped install the Democrats, who passed those stupid laws.
Dairies and ice cream plants wastewater can have a high Biochemical Oxygen Demand and utilities will charge for every pound over a certain limit to treat it.
