Sewage Overflow Reported In Cantonment

October 23, 2013

A sanitary sewer overflow occurred Tuesday in Cantonment, ECUA said Wednesday, at 2350 Highway 297A. The overflow was estimated at 300 gallons.

The two-inch force sewer main was broken by private contractor Roads, Inc. while working on the Highway 297A construction project, ECUA said.

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 and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection  were notified of the overflow.

This was the second sewage overflow as a result of a contractor error.  There was a 12,300 gallons overflow one week ago at the corner of Carmody Hill Road and Highway 297A. Read more…
