~ On September 10, 2025, the CBJ Utilities Division reported a second Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) event at the Outer Drive Pump Station in Downtown Juneau. The event occurred at approximately 6:45 p.m. and lasted until 2:30 a.m. the following day, resulting in a discharge of wastewater and storm water into the Gastineau Channel.

According to the CBJ Utilities Division, the second discharge was caused by heavy precipitation that overwhelmed the outdated Outer Drive (OD) wastewater pump station. This comes after a previous notice stating that the OD station is currently undergoing a major reconstruction project to prevent such events from occurring in the future.
