Narrative
The company's 24/7 emergency call center received a leak call from fulton county emergency communications advising that the city of atlanta's fire department responded to a fire that originated underneath a bridge along cheshire bridge road at south fork peachtree creek. The fire consisted of burning wooden pallets, mattresses and other types of furniture and items that appear to have accumulated from persons living underneath the bridge. Upon investigation, it was determined that heat from this fire damaged a 4-inch pe plastic one-way feed main inserted into a 16-inch steel casing, causing it to fail. Once the incident was made safe it was determined that costs associated with the incident would exceed the $122,000 threshold for reporting where the national response center (nrc) was contacted at that time. The atlanta department of transportation has determined that the structural integrity of the bridge has been compromised and the bridge will need to be replaced. Additional nrc report number 1313055 was created for the same event after a supplemental call was placed with the nrc to update the initial telephonic notice.
