Excessive flows due to rain (4" in 12 hours) overwhelmed the facility's pumping capacity. This caused a backup in the system and the partially treated wastewater overflowed out of the facility's drain near the septage receiving station. The quantity of the overflow is unknown but is assumed to be around 10,000 gallons. The point of discharge at the septage area was already underwater due to stormwater.
