The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is looking into contamination caused when 18,000 gallons of waste water and sludge leaked from the Lebanon sewage treatment facility.
A faulty release alarm in a basin at the facility allowed the release last Thursday (12-24).
The partially treated waste water and sludge escaped into the dry Auglaize creek near Lebanon.
The city has replaced the faulty alarm that caused the leak.
DNR took water samples and is still conducting tests.
