Approximately 2,000 gallons of reclaimed water was discharged at the 100 block of Bay Point Dr. NE on May 25, according to a May 26 notification from city officials. The incident occurred due to a break in the water line.
Of the total amount released, about 150 gallons were contained onsite while approximately 50 gallons entered a nearby storm drain. The remaining discharge flowed into Coffee Pot Bayou. City officials said repairs will be made as soon as possible.
