( KTRS ) The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District has received the results of water samples collected from the sewage overflow that occurred at the Bridgeton Landfill in October.

MSD reports that final test results showed that any pollutants released from the sewage spill did not pose a threat to public health. The sewage overflow was discovered October 27th after a technician responded to an alarm at a nearby facility and discovered the pump station, located on Bridgeton Landfill property, was not operating.

The pump station takes sewage from Bridgeton Landfill’s pre-treatment facility and puts it into a force main that eventually leads it to a wastewater treatment plant along the Mississippi River.
