Spill at Lift Station 9
At approximately 9:30 am on Friday September 6th, an aluminum fitting in the discharge valve structure of the Steuben Lakes Regional Waste District’s lift station pumping station located at 4750 W. Bachelor Rd. in Navada Mills broke. The result of this fitting breaking was roughly 5.000 gallons of sewage escaping the valve structure and eventually entering Jimmerson Lake. The maintenance staff was on site performing regular scheduled maintenance at the time of the incident and were able to stop the leakage and subsequently perform the necessary clean up and remediation of the spilled material. Both IDEM Emergency Response and the local Health Department have been notified and have responded accordingly.
Incidentally, this lift station is scheduled for a complete rehabilitation within the next three months.
