Wastewater spill in Victoria

An overflow at one of Victoria’s wastewater plants was fixed three hours after it was first discovered late Saturday morning. City officials say the spill did not touch the water supply used for drinking, cleaning and cooking purposes. The spill occurred at the Odem Street Wastewater Plant. City of Victoria Communications Director Ashley Stevel says because around 100,000 gallons were spilled from the wastewater plant, the city was required by TCEQ to put out a public notice of the incident. It could penalize the City of Victoria in the coming days.
