6,000 Gallon Sewage Spill On Quintette Road Cleaned Up
February 4, 2015
About 6,100 gallons of sewage leaked on Quintette Road Tuesday afternoon when a sewage line was ruptured by a contractor working in the area.
The 8-inch force main was damaged at 561 West Quintette Road. About 6,000 gallons was contained, collected and transported by vacuum truck to the Central Water Reclamation Facility for proper disposal and treatment. ECUA crews repaired the break, and the overflow area was then cleaned and disinfected with a biocide agent that abated any contamination concerns, per state protocol, according to an Emerald Coast Utilities Authorities press release.
The Escambia County Health Department and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection were notified.

article should say the main wasn’t marked when the contractor called in his locate ticket.
Why does the article say who is the contractor?
I hope the contractor gets the clean up bill.
