there was a build up of grease that appeared to have been released in the sewer line eventually becoming built up at the #1 river siphon chamber. The #2 river siphon chamber had a plug that was installed which was suspected to prevent the contractor from losing tools down the siphon chamber during construction. The calculated wastewater loss was taken from flow chart readings at the wastewater plant over a 3 day period. The lost wastewater was released through an overflow installed in the river siphon manhole.
