Hazardous material crews on Tuesday morning were called to the water tower at Grand Point Boulevard in Sunrise Beach after a 150-pound chlorine tank leaked, according to a Tuesday press release from the agency.
The tank was being changed out in a maintenance building by Camden County Public Water and Sewer District personnel when it started leaking, prompting crews to call emergency personnel at 9:04 a.m., the release says.
No evacuations were required and no injuries were reported. An isolation area of 200 feet was set up and Gran Point Boulevard was shut down while responders worked, the release says.
Hazmat technicians shut down the leak and secured the tank at 11:18 a.m. and the alarm was under control by 11:45 a.m., the release says. The scene was cleared minutes later.
