Investigation Summary
On May 30, 2000, Employee #1 was washing down an aeration basin to prepare it for a curtain wall installation on June 5, 2000. Employee #1 was walking backward while pulling a 1 1/2 in. uncharged water hose across grade level, where there were four 46 1/4 in. by 46 1/4 in. by 15 in. high skylight/hatchways.

He went through the cover of the skylight/hatchway and fell approximately 19 ft into the pump house basement. Employee #1 was killed.
