Second breach may have been found in Florida wastewater pond that threatens to break
Officials say drones may have detected a second breach in a Florida wastewater reservoir containment wall that could collapse — creating what the governor has called a “real catastrophic flood situation.”
“At approximately 2 a.m., an infrared drone identified a signature that could indicate a second breach” in the Piney Point wastewater pond, Manatee County Public Safety Director Jake Saur said Monday at a news conference.
“Engineers from the Department of Environmental Protection are back out at the site now and they’re reassessing that,” Saur added.
