Digester Feed Pumps were disabled and valving was swapped to enable the sludge level in the digester to be pumped to the Sludge Storage Tank. The Spill event ended after pumping sludge to SST.
DPW employees placed sandbags and built earth dams to prevent any spill into waterways.
The Digester piping was flushed and 2 pails of debris was removed.
Vacuum trucks and fire hoses were used to clean up the spill

Rags and Debris plugged the Primary Digester overflow pipe causing the digester to become pressurized. The cover perimeter seal failed and sludge overflowed onto the WWTF grounds and drainage ditch outside the facility fence.
