  "INCIDENT_REPORT": "Description of incident: On September 12, 2026, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Sewer PM staff responded to a sanitary sewer overflow at 2582 SW Westfield St. The overflow originated from a 2-inch low-pressure PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sewer main. Upon arrival, staff observed untreated wastewater escaping from the ground at an estimated rate of approximately 1.5 gallons per minute. The Sewer PM repair crew was excavating the area to replace a check valve when they identified a hairline fracture in the 2-inch low-pressure sewer main. The damage appeared to be associated with the age and condition of the pipe and/or the heavy rainfall conditions. A vacuum pumper truck was dispatched to recover the wastewater from the excavation. The overflow was stopped at approximately 2:00 p.m. Based on the estimated flow rate and duration, approximately 90 gallons of wastewater were released. Approximately 60 gallons were recovered from the excavation site by the vacuum pumper truck. The remaining estimated 30 gallons percolated into soil. Repairs to the damaged 2-inch low-pressure main were completed on September 12, 2026, at 2:00 pm. The affected area was cleaned, and 2 pounds of lime was spread in the affected area. No surface water was affected, and sampling was not required. All required regulatory notifications and documentation are being completed in accordance with established protocol.",
