To Whom it May Concern,
Response for Nov-2022-DV-0169, Incident 202200747 The Town experienced an SSO
along Hwy 90 at manhole 421. A town crew member discovered the SSO when he was
mowing along the Right of Way and noticed sewage coming out of the two pick holes on
the manhole lid. Immediate action was taken, our first call was made to two other town
employees to bring the vac truck to relieve the SSO. With the manhole being off the
shoulder of the roadway, we had to set up a "one lane road" so our men could work
safely, thereafter we swiftly corrected the SSO. We determined the main cause of the
SSO was grease. We believe the upstream businesses have played a role in the
accumulation of F.O.G. in the main lines. We did report our spill to the newspaper and
re -ran our bi-annual F.O.G. ad alongside the spill report.
Crews took time to clean the area where the spill occurred. We have cleaned several
hundred feet from MH 421 since the spill and plan to clean the whole trunk line this
summer. We plan to monitor this area to make sure we do not experience any more
SSOs in the future. The condition of the pipes and manholes in this area are very good,
Manholes have been rehabbed and Clay pipe has been Insituformed (CIPP) as recently
as 2016. Please take this under consideration as you review our SSO response.
Thank You,
Xdic
