Narrative:

As acting supervisor on this shift when it occurred. I was called to the bag room for an overhead water leak coming from the restrooms located directly above our bag room. I was also advised that this was not the first time it happened; and that it was reported before. It was confirmed that it was the sewage line that was backed up causing the overflow to leak out of the pipes down onto the bag room in the middle of where most of the operation occurs. Again; this is contaminated sewage water leaking down on the floor and onto employees. Why doesn't clark county have an procedure for this when it does happen? They did not block off the area and send people safely around the affected area. Instead we got someone to quickly look at the situation and immediately know what was happening; and leave the scene unattended to go upstairs to unclog the toilets while it still raining contaminated sewage water to rain on people working the bag room.
