At approximately 8:00 A.M.,
this morning (Wednesday, April 26), MSD's regional wastewater
treatment plant in Jeffersontown (10725 Old Taylorsville Road) began
receiving an unidentified, white substance through its main sewer
intake. The substance has continued to flow into the plant and is
causing operation failures to the facility. The substance is now
flowing through the plant and into Chenoweth Run Creek.
MSD investigators are
currently following sewer lines upstream of the Jeffersontown plant to
determine the cause and source of this illegal discharge. MSD
operations personnel are taking every step in an effort to contain the
material and minimize its impact on Chenoweth Run Creek.
When the source of this
illegal discharge has been determined, this office will provide an
immediate update.
