Mechanical Failure Leads to Clinton Wastewater Discharge
Posted: May 2, 2008

CLINTON — A sewer pump failed Friday morning in Clinton, leading to untreated wastewater reaching Joyce Slough.

The city discovered the pump failure at 7:00 a.m. Friday. The failed pump caused an unknown amount of untreated wastewater to flow from the 20th Avenue North lift station to Joyce Slough. The slough drains to the Mississippi River.

The city stopped the discharge around 8:00 a.m. and will take water samples. The Davenport drinking water supply has been notified of the discharge.
