Sewage Overflow Reported On East Kingsfield Road
March 26, 2014
A sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) occurred Monday at 505 E. Kingsfield Road as a result of a blockage in an air release valve (ARV) caused by debris, according to ECUA. The 4-inch ARV is designed to release air trapped in the high points of a pressurized sewer main, and the debris impeded the ARV’s normal operation.
ECUA crews immediately halted the spill and cleared the blockage. The overflow is estimated at 20,086 gallons, of which 4,800 gallons were recovered by vacuum truck and transported to the ECUA’s Central Water Reclamation Facility for proper treatment and disposal.
Per state protocol, the overflow area was then cleaned and disinfected with a biocide agent that abated any contamination concerns. The Escambia County Health Department, the State Warning Point, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection were notified, according to ECUA.
