Wausau Public Works: 3.7M Gallons Of Wastewater Spills Into River

Engineers with the city of Wausau estimate three-point-seven-million gallons of wastewater spilled into the Wisconsin River last week.  Milwaukee Public Works and Utilities director Eric Lindman says there is no health threat from what is actually a small amount of untreated water, when compared to the total flow in the river.  The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is still testing to determine the full impact.  The city is looking at ways to prevent a pipe from becoming plugged up again — or ways to monitor so the problem is caught sooner.
