Overflowing Toilets Send Sewage Into Elementary School Hallways

MAITLAND, Fla.- A Maitland elementary school was cleared when toilets backed up and sent sewage flowing into first-floor hallways. An electrical problem at a sewage lift station near the school was blamed for the overflowing toilets. The backup forced the evacuation of about 200 students at Domerich Elementary School, according to the report. Twelve classes were shifted to different rooms in the three-story building during the cleanup. The principal at Dommerich Elementary School said the overflow was a clear liquid. A similar thing happened during power outages after last year's hurricanes when no students were in the building.
