am sending this correspondence in reference to our Town of Jackson experiencing inflow exceeding
permitted limits on the following dates(with amounts). November I I" and 12"' (1,854,200 gals each da) )
;averaged due to holiday) 13"' (1.318,700 gals) Id". 15". and 16'-' (798.500 gals each day averaged out duc
to weekend) 17"' (616, 200 gals) 18"' 039,100 gals) 19`1' (665.900 gals), 20`�' (368,200 gals), 2 1 " .22"`�
and 23'`t (502,300 foals each day averaged out duc to weekend). This event was due to 8.3in. of rainfall from
the afternoon of the 1 0' carrying on into the 12'''. The high readings were also caused by the flow meter
inaccurately recording readings due to heavy grease collection in flume of'wet well at our sanitary sewer lilt
station on Depot St. in our town. This particular lift station sends the Tonn's sanitary sewer to our WTP
Facility Storage lagoon where our Spray Irrigation Field is located . On Monday the 23'd, we were able to
pump out our wet well and cleaned out grease and trash that %%as causing the problems in our I_ifi Station
and therefore we are back to normal operation at this time. The freeboard at our WTP Storage Lagoon on
the I l"' was 5' 5" . 13y the 15'h the freeboard was 4'0 Due to wetted fields we could not begin spraying
until the 15"'. We have sprayed lightly since and today's freeboard is 21'3" The Sanitary- Sewer Overflo�%
was located at the manhole adjacent to our Main Lilt Station on Depot St. approximately 40 thousand
gallons reached a drainage ditch on Depot St. We followed protocol after the storm by using our spill
response policy in treating the spill.
Today by checking the readings at our lift station, everything appears back to normal.
apologize for the tardiness of this report. I have been out of the "fawn due to teaching Criminal Justice
Police Academy and The Detention Academy the last two weeks along with taking Certification Classes to
leach other Specific Criminal Justice courses in the future_ Also before sending this report I canted to get
our Sanitary Sewer System back to normal operation.
