A Sanitary Sewer Overflow -SSO- occurred on July 20, 2024, in the vicinity of 4300 Grandpointe Dr. due to a broken 16-inch sewer force main. The overflow was estimated at 120,000 gallons, of which 8,080 gallons were recovered and transported to an ECUA water reclamation facility for proper treatment and disposal. Bacteriological sampling has been initiated.

ECUA crews repaired the main 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 FDEP.
