  "INCIDENT_REPORT": "Incident Description: A boring contractor struck a 2-inch sewer tap connected to an 18-inch force main, resulting in a sanitary sewer spill. Approximately 6,300 gallons of untreated wastewater were released onto the nearby grounds. City staff responded immediately and shut down Lift Station #40 to relieve pressure within the force main and facilitate repairs. Once system pressure was relieved, the damaged connection was repaired and normal wastewater conveyance operations were restored. A vacuum truck was used to recover standing wastewater from the affected ground surfaces. Following completion of cleanup activities, the impacted areas were treated with lime for disinfection. The spill did not impact surface waters or stormwater drainage systems. Wastewater Type: Untreated Cause: Contractor Spill Volume: 6,300 Volume Recovered: 6,300 Waterbodies Impacted: N Clean-up Status: Complete Clean-up Actions: Vacuumed/pump truck, Applied lime Agencies Notified: [removed]",
