Ref: Notice of Violation
Tracking No. NOV-2021-DV-0475
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 # 202102010- This overflow incident at 200 Caldwell Farm Road was the result of a
gravity main pipe failure (break.)
On behalf of the City of Belmont, city crews responded to reports of the overflow and
immediately began to repair the 8-inch clay pipe. In total, 23 feet of pipe were replaced. Crews
utilized a Sewer/Vacuum truck to clean up the overflow and lime was applied to the affected
area. City crews inspected the sanitary sewer line up and down stream of the replaced pipe and
observed no immediate issues. This main was last inspected on September 21, 2021. A press
release was drafted and sent to all local contacts for print and media news sources.
The City of Belmont worked diligently to repair the broken pipe and reduce the overflow volume
to the best of its ability. There was no expected impact on wildlife or public health stemming
from this overflow. City public works and engineering staff are currently reviewing this gravity
main to determine if it can be reengineered to prevent future breaks. A complete rehabilitation of
this pipe is being discussed and has been added to the City of Belmont's Capital Improvements
Program. In the next few months, the Distribution and Collections ORC will be sending his team
to investigate other sections of this line to determine the exact scope of a rehabilitation project so
engineering and design can begin. Please see the document included with this letter as evidence
of the City of Belmont's intent to rehabilitate this line.
