~ On the morning of May 17, 2025, a sudden gasoline spill at the CBJ Mendenhall Treatment Plant caused a disruption in wastewater treatment operations. The incident occurred at 6:15 a.m. and prompted the temporary evacuation of a portion of the facility.
According to utility treatment operators, the severity of the spill required immediate action to isolate and contain the damage. As a result, an investigation was launched in collaboration with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), Spill Prevention and Response.
The presence of gasoline in the CBJ sewer system poses significant risks to human health, infrastructure, and the environment. It also interferes with the waste treatment process and puts fisheries at risk.
