PRESCOTT VALLEY - This past week’s storm triggered the spill of 1.25 million gallons of untreated sewage from the town’s sewer plant Thursday and Friday into the nearby Agua Fria River, Utilities Director Neil Wadsworth said.

A power spike tripped the outside generators at the sewer plant and shut the plant down, Wadsworth said.

The power failure lasted from 7 p.m. Thursday until 7 a.m. Friday, and recurred from 2 to 7 p.m. Friday.
