According to new reports submitted by the city to ADEM, the overflow that began at 6AM Sunday continued until about 2PM Monday; and 100K - 250K gallons of sewage mixed with rain was discharged during the event. (see the report below)
CHRONIC PROBLEM THERE
According to a report submitted by the city to ADEM, due to the heavy rain over the weekend up to 10K gallons of sewage diluted with rainwater overflowed from a manhole and lift station near the intersection of Valley and Middle Streets into the Big Head Gully watershed.
Storm water intrusion into sewage pipes on private property in the area is thought to be the major cause of the problem there.
Increasing capacity of the lift station may be part of the solution.
