Description Of Incident: At the Montpelier Water Resource Recovery Facility there is a concrete channel which directs primary effluent from the primary clarifiers to the aeration tanks. A leak was discovered coming from this concrete channel at 6:30 a.m on 04/09/2019.

This stormwater drain flows directly into the Dog River.
