A fuel spill at a Saskatoon gas station Tuesday evening resulted in diesel fuel entering the city's storm sewer system.
Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services crews and hazmat units were called just after 7 p.m. to a fuel spill at the Husky station at Marquis Drive and Highway 16 North where approximately 200 litres of diesel fuel had been discharged from one of the fuel pumps.
Fire officials said in a news release that staff at the station acted quickly to seal off a storm drain on the lot and create a barrier to prevent more fuel from entering the storm sewer.
Fire crews assisted to contain the spill and secure the area to prevent traffic from passing through the area.
Husky staff called an environmental cleanup company to remove the spilled fuel and materials and clean the pavement, the news release said.
Saskatchewan Environment and the City of Saskatoon's water and wastewater treatment branch have been notified that an unknown quantity of fuel entered the storm drain and are investigating.
