Health Alert Rescinded For Bayou After 2.2 Million Gallon Sewage Spill
June 28, 2011
The Escambia County Health Department has rescinded a health alert issued for Thompson’s Bayou near the Escambia River. The alert was issued last week after a ECUA pipe failure dumped 2.2 million gallons of untreated sewage into the bayou, located near the University of West Florida.
“The health department feels that water quality in this area has improved considerably due to the reduction in bacteria levels,” according to a statement released Monday afternoon following bacteriological sampling.
