(Cleves, Oh.) – Fire crews were dispatched to the Cleves Waterworks water treatment plant on Kilby Road on Monday evening.

A chlorine gas leak was reported at the facility around 7:04 p.m.

The chlorine gas leak was contained to the immediate area of the water treatment facility, according to Whitewater Township Fire.

For safety reasons, Kilby Road was closed between Suspension Bridge Road and U.S. 50 to allow emergency crews to operate safely. The Greater Cincinnati HAZMAT Team was called in to assist with containing the leak.

The investigation revealed the leak was caused by a malfunctioning 150-pound chlorine tank.

The situation was resolved by 9:30 p.m.

One person was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
