REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (WHNT) – Employees at Redstone Arsenal are being asked to stay home and telework Friday after a sewage line broke.

On Thursday afternoon, Team Redstone reported that a sewage line near Martin and Mills Road had broken. Around 11 p.m., they said that the break had expanded and impacted most of the installation.

Command Leadership has said that all organizations and agencies on the arsenal either implement “maximum use of telework’ or liberal leave.
