Roots and wet towels that are responsible for waste water in the Winton Lake

According to the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), a partial blockade, which is caused by roots and moist cloths, is that the waste water comes into the lake into the lake this week.

In a statement, the agency says that the blockade has been removed.

“The blockade caused a wastewater discharge from a man hole during the rain event at the beginning of this week,” says the explanation.

The waste water flowed into a sea flood, about a mile north of the lake itself. From there it flowed into the Winton Lake.

According to MSD, cleaning along this stream is complete and the water quality tests last. The lake remains closed for relaxation.

“MSD has inspected the wastewater pipes in and around Winton Woods in the past six years to reduce the risk of sewage blocks. Our crews have inspected and cleaned more than 7 miles.

Updates for closure can be found on the Great Parks website.

Hamilton County's public health stated that children and pets should not be allowed near the affected area. People should avoid getting in touch with sea water. And recommends washing your hands, clothes and shoes in the area in the area.

The US Army Corps of Engineers confirms WVXU that wastewater discharge into the lake will not impair the work on Winton Lake Dam, who is planned in August. In this work, the lake – known from the Corps as West Fork Lake, but more often known as Winton Lake, as he named by Great Parks, is at least 8 feet.

Previous environmental problems

In June 2019, the waste water was flooded by two man holes in a pond and from there into the Winton Lake. A blocked sewage line was to blame. The Metropolitan Sewer District determined a mass of tree roots, fat and “flushing” towels that the sewage line was flooded.

Although it is marketed as “flushing”, wet towels do not break off in water as toilet paper does. You can get involved in devices or be combined with fat and other garbage items to form “Fettbergs” – achieved masses that clog sewage pipes and cause backups and overflowing.

This is not the first environmental risk for large parks. On March 17, 2014, an oil pipeline sent to a hill in Oak Glen Nature Preserve in Colerain Township on March 17, 2014. Cleaning and renovation took several years. The restoration has been completed and the preservation is in a surveillance state.
