Lincoln Transportation and Utilities crews responded Thursday to a wastewater discharge near the 45th and Leighton Avenue after a bypass pumping hose became disconnected during sewer line repairs.
The incident caused wastewater to spray onto nearby ground and sidewalks. Crews quickly halted pumping, repaired the hose, and cleaned the affected area before resuming work.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department was notified.
