[name removed] also sent an email reporting that at approximately 2:00am on June 28th, he switched the treatment plant to storm mode to prevent an unwanted discharge caused by heavy rainfall. This involved turning off aeration to basins one and two. The plant will remain in storm mode until the collection system is sufficiently pumped down. The 5 day written report was provided via email on June 29, 2026 and noted that the overflow began at 2:00am and ended at 5:30am on June 28th.  The volume of the overflow was estimated at 15,000 gallons and the overflow did not reach state waters. On June 30, 2026, [name removed] provided an email noting that they have completed repairs to the influent station, and all three pumps in the wet well are now operational. Additionally, aeration has been restarted in basins one and two, and they have returned to normal operation. The incident was closed on July 2, 2026.",
