WAPELLO – An unknown amount of wastewater discharged and flowed to the Iowa River Tuesday when a force main ruptured in Wapello at 9:30 a.m.

City staff had to shut a pump station down near Van Buren Street to fix the main pipe, allowing untreated wastewater to discharge until the pipe was repaired at 11:20 a.m.

The city will test water samples collected near the pump station.

The DNR does not anticipate taking enforcement action at this time.
