NOV Response
Incident Number 202400419
The SSO that occurred on Feb. 5th 2024 was the result of a grease cap in the
wetwell that had moved underneath the floats, as the water level rose the float did
not turn up as it should've. The grease cap acted as a bench for the float as the
float just rested on the cap as the water continued to rise. A town crew was onsite
within 5 minutes of the alert. Pumps were set to "hand" and pumped the station
down. The crew spend the next hour removing the grease cap with hand tools. This
station is cleaned several times throughout the year and its first of the year
cleaning was scheduled on Friday February 2nd 2024. As we moved our brand new
$326,000 combo vac truck into position to clean the station it would not operate
so the cleaning was postponed until the next week via hand tools, unfortunately
the SSO occurred the Monday morning on the 5th before crews could arrive to
manually clean the station.
The spill was contained and cleaned of debris and lime was applied. Our one and
only new combo vac truck spent one month in Monroe, NC at the Joe Johnson
Service Center and was down another week after that as technicians searched for
the answer as to why the truck continued to send alarm codes, disabling the truck
altogether. Eventually they replaced a CAN-BUS wiring harness. The truck is
supposed to go back into to service this week, March 19th 2024. We hope this fix
will allow our crew to continue their work uninterrupted while they maintain the
towns collection system.
Thank You,
Luke Robinette
