The city of Burlington bypassed an estimated 500,000 gallons of untreated wastewater to the Mississippi River after a pump failure Monday. 

 

City staff indicated the wastewater began bypassing at about 3:45 a.m. and the discharge lasted about one hour. 

 

The wastewater discharged from the pumping station near Market Street after a power surge occurred during a storm.
