ENV RESPONDS TO BERETANIA SSO(Sunday, Nov. 14 , 2010) – The City's Department of Environmental Services responded this evening to a sanitary sewer overflow on Beretania Street next to Aala Park. The call came in at 5:50 p.m. An ENV crew arrived at the scene at 6:07 p.m. and secured the site at 6:35 p.m. Grease clogged a 10-inch terra cotta pipe. An estimated 2,250 gallons of untreated wastewater came out of manhole with approximately 850 gallons making its way into a storm drain. The ENV crew was able to divert 1,250 back into a nearby manhole while recovering another 150 gallons with a Vactor truck. ENV notified the state Department of Health. The affected area was cleaned, disinfected and deodorized. Signing and water sampling will begin at first light on Monday morning.
