Field technicians arrived at the location at 1330 and located and isolated the spill. They found that a 45 degree coupling had cracked connecting the customers service line to the force main. The broken coupler was cut out and a new one was installed. The team was unable to recover any of the untreated spill as it rapidly soaked into the ground when the break was isolated. They raked up debris and limed the area. The repair and clean up was complete by 1550 on 10-20-26 Wastewater Type: Untreated Cause: Break-in-Line Spill Volume: 400 Volume Recovered: 0 Waterbodies Impacted: N Clean-up Status: Complete Clean-up Actions: Applied lime, Raked and disposed of debris Agencies Notified: [removed]",
