Kerosene in sewer
A report of an odor of kerosene at a home in Portland led to the discovery of the substance in the city's sewer system Sunday morning.
Portland firefighters were called to the home of David C. Vasquez, 816 W. Water St., at 1:05 a.m., after he smelled kerosene in his home.
Firefighters determined the odor was coming from the drain for his washing machine, and called the wastewater treatment plant.
A plant official arrived at the scene at 1:58 a.m. and determined that kerosene had somehow gotten into the city's sewer system.
There was only a small amount of kerosene in the sewer system, which may have been caused by an accidental spill or leak, said wastewater treatment plant superintendent Ron Krieg.
He said there was not enough kerosene to damage the treatement system, and heavy rainfall helped dilute the chemical.
Firefighters left the scene at 2:10 a.m.[[In-content Ad]]
