Town of Shelby
Sanitary Sewer District No. 2
Public Notice
Pursuant to Wisconsin Administrative Rules Chapter NR 210, section 210.21, the public is hereby notified that on Friday, May 30, 2025, a sanitary sewer leak occurred at the intersection of 28th Street and Cass St, La Crosse, WI.
A 4-inch sanitary sewer force main pipe had been damaged by a gas main installation, causing a leak. It is estimated that 100 gallons of sanitary sewer overflow ran down the curb to a storm sewer inlet near the intersection.
Crews immediately shut the upstream sanitary sewer lift station pumps off and isolated the break, and contractors were called in to excavate the pipe and repair the break. The excavated soil was transported to a secure location where it will be tested and properly disposed of.
