Sanitary Sewage Overflow Reported In Cantonment
October 19, 2013
A sanitary sewer overflow occurred late Wednesday night in Cantonment, ECUA said Friday, at the corner of Carmody Hill Road and Highway 297A.
A two-inch force sewer main was broken by private contractor Roads, Inc. as they worked on a Highway 297A construction project, ECUA said.
The overflow was estimated at 12,300 gallons, of which 12,000 gallons (five truckloads of 2,400 gallons each) were recovered by vacuum truck and transported to the ECUA’s Bayou Marcus Water Reclamation Facility for disposal and treatment.
ECUA crews responded to the break and made appropriate repairs. The overflow area was then cleaned and disinfected with a biocide agent to remove any contamination concerns under state protocol. The Escambia County Health Department, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the state were notified of the overflow.
