Estimated 5,000 gallons of sludge discharged in leak at York City wastewater plant
York Dispatch
The state Department of Environmental Protection plans to issue a notice of violation to York City after overflowing digesters at the wastewater treatment plant discharged an estimated 5,000 gallons of sludge.
The upcoming notice of violation comes as initial reports of the March 27 incident, filed by a general manager at the facility, detail that an overflow of two digesters caused the sludge to leak and may have led to a portion of the digester building s facade collapsing. We will be issuing a Notice of Violation which will request a formal response with additional details. Once issued, the city will have 30 calendar days to respond, DEP spokesperson John Repetz said in a statement.

More than 700 PWSA customers in Pittsburgh’s Troy Hill neighborhood were expected to be without water or have low water pressure Sunday night because of a water main break, and other breaks were reported in Homestead and West Mifflin.
Officials with Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority and Pennsylvania American Water Co. attributed the breaks to record-low temperatures Sunday that preceded a warming trend that expected to continue through Wednesday.
The line breaks included one on Lowrie Street in Troy Hill that crews were working to fix Sunday night, according to Rachel Rampa, public affairs coordinator for PWSA.
