Zagrodzky: Sewer Line Repaired at Weed Beach, ‘Nearly All’ the 100K Gallons Leaked Was Sucked into Vacuum Trucks
|
The leak from the broken sewer line at Weed Beach was fixed at 2:30 a.m., Monday, and crews continued “site restoration” until dawn, First Selectman Jon Zagrodzky announced at about 6 p.m., Monday. About 100,000 gallons of sewage was spilled, Zagrodzky announced on Instagram. “Fortunately, nearly all of it was removed by vacuum trucks from a containment area the work crews created, with no (as far as we can tell) flows into residential areas or Long Island Sound,” he wrote. He added, “Reporting to DEEP [the state Department of Energy & Environmental Protection] and other regulators is in progress.” — Darienite.com’s article on Sunday evening about the sewer line break: First Selectman Describes and Records Video of Sewer Main Break at Weed Beach as Crews Work to Contain and Repair It
