Sewer Overflow On Washington Street Cleaned Up

June 5, 2015

A Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSOs) occurred on Thursday at 203 Washington Street after an 8-inch sewer force was struck by lightning. The overflow was estimated at 80,000 gallons, of which 78,000 gallons were recovered and transported to the ECUA’s Central Water reclamation Facility for proper treatment and disposal.

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. The Escambia County Health Department, the State Warning Point, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection were notified.
