At approximately 10:45AM on 7/29/21, a contractor, who was directional drilling a cable service, drilled through a sanitary sewer force main near the intersection of Michigan Avenue and S. McKenzie Street. The damage to the force main resulted in an SSO that affected the adjacent drainage ditch and storm drain near at this intersection and approximately 1,000 feet south along S. McKenzie Street. It is estimated that the total volume of the SSO was approximately 5,000 gallons. The damage to the force main has been repaired and the area is being cleaned and disinfected.
