  "INCIDENT_NAME": "LS#100 Waste Water Spill 8470 SR7",
  "INCIDENT_REPORT": "On November 1, 2026, at approximately 7:30 PM, Dispatch notified crews of a high wet well alarm at Lift Station #100, located at 8470 SR 7. Upon arrival, crews observed wastewater overflowing from the station. Six vacuum trucks were immediately deployed to recover the overflow, maintain wet well levels, and assist with pumping down the station. The overflow was attributed to the collection system being overwhelmed by approximately 13 inches of rainfall received that evening. It is estimated that approximately 5,000 gallons of wastewater overflowed onto the lift station property and adjacent onsite drainage swales. The affected areas are contained within the lift station site and are not connected to any surface waters, stormwater conveyance systems, or other receiving water bodies. Vacuum truck operations recovered approximately 12,500 gallons of liquid from the affected areas. The recovered volume included the estimated wastewater overflow as well as accumulated stormwater and groundwater present within the onsite swales and low-lying areas. The vacuum trucks also assisted in lowering wet well levels and stabilizing station operations. Response and recovery activities continued until all observable wastewater was removed from the site and normal station operations were restored.",
