At approximately 2:00 p.m. on July 22, 1996, Employee #1 was performing a maintenance check of the wastewater pump unit when he observed that the pump pressure was too high. While he was investigating the problem, the cooling system hose slipped off the clamp and sprayed him with approximately 200 degree F water.
