Stormwater collection system    
Staff limed the area and investigated the catch basins. It appears that a small amount of flow entered the catch basin, but that the sewage was unlikely to drain to Lake Champlain. Staff also jetted the collection system and vactored (using a vacuum truck to suck out all the water and debris)the catch basins attached to the storm system in the area. This posting is done out of an abundance of caution.

Last night a sewer manhole on Lake street discharged untreated sewage to a storm system catch basin. The overflow was caught soon after it started.
