City of Belmont - WQCS00046
Dear Mr. Pitner,
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 # 202201361- This overflow incident at 118 Willerine Drive was the result of a gravity main pipe
blockage.
On behalf of the City of Belmont, city crews responded to reports of the overflow and immediately began to clear
the 8-inch clay pipe of debris made of primarily rock and construction material. Crews utilized a Sewer/Vacuum
truck to clean up the overflow and jet the main. Lime was applied to the affected area. City crews inspected the
sanitary sewer line up and down stream of the blockage and observed no immediate issues.
The City of Belmont worked diligently to clear the debris 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 staff
will be inspecting construction sites in the area to ensure no contractors or residents illegally dump debris into
sewer mains.
