The pump station is where all the sewage in town ends up. That had to be bypassed and the sewage was pumped into the river from about 11:40 p.m. to roughly 11 a.m. the next day. The City has been in contact with the North Dakota Department of Health regarding what happened.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities add if this bypass wasn\u2019t used, the sewage would have backed up into homes. There\u2019s an alarm system in the lift station that went off just before 10 p.m. Electricians determined that it was not an electrical issue that caused the failure. Officials said because of past floods, they have an idea of how long they can let a situation like this go before having to act.<\/p>\n<p>City officials say luckily it occurred at night so the flow was much lower than if it had occurred during the daylight hours. Authorities say some emergencies are unavoidable and sometimes things just break. It\u2019s unclear at this point if there are any health or environmental concerns because of pumping raw sewage into the river.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valley City (CSi) Valley News Live in Fargo reports that officials in the City of Lisbon have confirmed that raw sewage was recently pumped into the Sheyenne River for approximately 12 hours because a pump station had failed.
