From the Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board:
Today a broken valve on the sewer line caused a spill of approximately 7,500 gallons of raw sewage. The release occurred on Honeysuckle near the corner of Ramsey Road in a residential area. The Hayden Area Regional Sewer Board has contacted a hydro-geologist to evaluate and determine the impact of this release on groundwater and nearby water wells. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has been contacted, is apprised of all findings, and will be given written follow-up information which is customary after an incident like this. There are no immediate threats to any drinking water supplies from this incident at this time.
