Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reported on July 27, 2021 at 400 Eisenhower Road

On July 26, at 8:30 a.m. City staff checking sewer lift stations noticed that pumps at the Hallmark Lift Station (400 Eisenhower Road) were tripped out and not functioning. This caused the Hallmark Lift Station to bypass into the creek. Further investigation showed that the auto dialer which alerts City staff about problems was cut during construction east of the lift station. City staff reset pumps which ended the bypass at 8:45 a.m. City staff also notified AT&T of the damaged phone line which was repaired the same day. The City would ask that all residents stay out of the creek until testing verifies that E. coli is within the acceptable limit set by Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Lansing Wastewater Treatment Plant staff have been notified.
