About 25,000 gallons of untreated wastewater from the TZ Osborne Treatment Plant discharged on Wednesday, the city reported today.
The discharge occurred for about 4½ hours due to a contractor hitting a force main. The plant is located at 1625 Oakleigh Dr. The untreated wastewater entered North Buffalo tributary of the Haw river basin. The line was repaired to prevent further discharge.
