The cost to clean up an oil spill that went unreported in New Berlin for days before its discovery is still being tallied, the DNR said. Reply NEW BERLIN, WI — The state of emergency declared in New Berlin when oil was found contaminating the city's stormwater system on March 19 ended on Wednesday with much of the spill now cleaned, according to a news release from the city. The oil spill came from 3890 South Moorland Road, the city said, which is listed online as Moorland Auto Repair. The spill happened on March 16 and went unreported for three days until a 911 call reported a strong smell of oil in the city's stormwater pond behind the post office and just east of the end of Howard Avenue, according to the city's news release.
