why do you put lime on a sewage spill?
Liberally sprinkle garden lime over the spill to absorb the sewage. Allow the lime to dry overnight. Once the lime is dry, scoop it up using a rake or shovel, and throw the sewage-contaminated lime in a trash bag. Throw the trash bag and shovel or rake in a trash receptacle. Wash the remnants of dried lime away from the ground by using a garden hose. If you do not have garden lime, use a wet/dry shop vac to suck up a small sewage spill. Throw the shop vac and sewage contents contained within, in a trash receptacle.
