A Sanitary Sewer Overflow -SSO- occurred on Oct. 11 at 4600 Twin Oaks Dr. (Manhole #7308) due to a grease blockage in the sewer main. The overflow was estimated at 100 gallons, of which 50 gallons were collected by vacuum truck and transported to an ECUA water reclamation facility for proper treatment and disposal. Bacteriological sampling has been initiated.

ECUA crews cleared the blockage and cleaned the overflow area with a biocide agent that abated any contamination concerns, per State protocol. In accordance with standard operating procedure, the ECUA notified the State Warning Point, the Escambia County Health Department and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. For more information, customers may contact ECUA Customer Service at (850) 476-0480 for assistance.
