NEW BERLIN, Wis. — A New Berlin State of Emergency has been terminated after a March oil spill left the city with weeks of cleanup. The spill happened on March 16 in a local stormwater pond. It came from Moorland Auto Repair and traveled the length of nearly six football fields, underground, and made its way into retention ponds. The New Berlin Common Council and City Emergency Management discussed the cleanup efforts a week after the spill, saying on one day alone, officials drained 1,200 gallons of oil and water from the ponds.
