City of Belmont - WQCS00046
Dear Mr. Basinger,
The City of Belmont is in receipt of the above NOV and as required by your letter, our response
to the violations are as follows:
Incident # 202100968- This overflow incident at the manhole located at 101 Hugh St. was the
result of debris blocking proper flow of the sewer line.
On behalf of the City of Belmont, city crews responded to reports of the overflow and
immediately jetted the sewer main to clear the blockage. Lime was applied to the area affected
by this incident after clearing the blockage. The incident area has no history of overflows and
was inspected and cleaned on February 22, 2021. At that time, there was no indication of
excessive debris and it was not foreseeable an overflow would occur. The City of Belmont
worked diligently to clear the obstruction and reduce the overflow volume to the best of its
ability.
Sincerely,
William Carroll
Public Works Director
