Yuba Water Agency and state officials reported encouraging water-quality test results following the large pipe rupture at the New Colgate Powerhouse in Yuba County. In a Friday news release, the agency said samples collected downstream in the Yuba River and at Englebright Lake showed no “concerning results.” The initial testing found no detections of industrial or petroleum-related contaminants, specifically polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds, the agency said, adding that Yuba Water has been taking samples from the Yuba River every day since the morning after the rupture.
