Source tracing was attempted, but it appears to have started somewhere in the vicinity of this property. Samples were taken and delivered to the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services in Richmond for further testing. We believe that this may either be an SSO or paint. *Note: \"yes\" was selected under \"is this a sewage related incident\", although we are unsure as of this time.",
