Sewage floods streets in Ventnor following broken main
VENTNOR, N.J. - Crews are working around the clock to repair a broken sewer main in Ventnor, New Jersey.The main serves Longport, Margate and Ventnor and it runs to the Atlantic City wastewater treatment plant, according to Rick Dovey of the Atlantic County Utilities Authority. It's a critical line."So you can't turn it off. So you have to bypass it and excavate and get to hopefully get to where the leak is and determine how you're going to fix it. So our estimate is six days, up to six days from today to get the bypass in place," Dovey said.From there the repair to the actual main can begin.
