Sewer leaks: City puts in backup system to deal with them

Sewer leaks: City puts in backup system to deal with them Two leaks, about 50 to 80 feet apart in the forced sewer main between the final lift station and the waste water treatment plant, have prompted the implementation of a backup system, according to Reed Schwartzkopf, Jamestown city engineer.
