Sewage Spill May Have Reached Eleven Mile Creek

December 7, 2016

A sewage spill occurred Monday at an ECUA lift station at 1421 Highway 297A after a telecommunications contractor bored through a sewer main.

The spill was estimated at 19,500 gallons that may have reached Eleven Mile Creek, according to an ECUA news release issued Tuesday.

Because the spill may have reached the creek, ECUA determined that a potential health risk may exist and door hanger noticeswere distributed to area residents. Bacteriological sampling of the area and Crescent Lake have been initiated.

ECUA crews repaired the main and ensured that the overflow area was cleaned and disinfected with a biocide agent that removed any contamination concerns, per state protocol.
