Storm Water Can Be Hazardous
Water main breaks can come from your house, a neighbors house, or even the town’s main sewer line. Standing water is the perfect breeding ground for harmful microorganisms and toxic bacteria’s that can lead to various illnesses and threatening diseases. Blackwater is classified as any sewage that flows through the plumbing system in a home or commercial building.
When this water leaks out into a community, where it can contaminate soil and groundwater, it presents a hazard. Standing water from floods or heavy storms can also be very harmful and are considered a hazard to step foot in without the possible risk of getting sick or contracting a painful skin rash due to unknown pollutants.
