Middle Sound Loop Road has reopened to traffic following emergency repairs to a CFPUA sewer main.

On Monday, August 1, a sewer leak was reported in the 500 block of Middle Sound Loop Road. Approximately 2,340 gallons of untreated wastewater spilled to a nearby drainage ditch. While crews were able to reclaim a portion of the spill, some wastewater escaped into a tributary of Pages Creek.

CFPUA has notified the State Division of Water Resources and CFPUA staff are conducting surface water sampling in the area of the spill.
