Officials Investigating a Sewer Line Break

The main sewer line that pumps sewage from town to the Lynn Treatment Plant has been compromised, DPW officials have confirmed.

According to Department of Public Works Director Gino Cresta, they are not sure where the actual break in the line is or how it happened.

"We are still working on that," Cresta said. "Once we get the levels down, we should be able to find out."

Cresta said currently, they are pumping the raw sewage via vacuum and trucking it to the Lynn Treatment Plant.

Cresta said the department will be coming out with a statement sometime this afternoon. Swampscott Patch will bring more information as it is known.
