SALISBURY, MD. — A water treatment plant in Salisbury, Md., was shut down and two employees were hospitalized after a damaged pipe leaked chlorine-treated water yesterday, The Daily Times reported.
The leak at the Salisbury Water Treatment Plant has been stopped and crews have begun work to repair the pipe permanently, the article stated.
Two Public Works Department employees were working to clean up the spill when they became overwhelmed with fumes and were rushed to a local hospital, according to the story.
“[The workers] were overwhelmed with fumes, but are going to be fine,” said Salisbury Mayor James Ireton. “They were expected to be treated and released.”
