Sewage Overflow Reported At New Lift Station

Fairhope, Alabama




Fels Avenue lift station


 STILL BREAKING IN

A sewage overflow occurred at the new Fels Avenue sewage lift station, 402 S. Mobile Street.  Faulty electrical components allowed 500 gallons of sewage to escape from a manhole there according to the ADEM report.

A utility spokesman said they are still "working through some issues" with the new equipment.

This is horrid. Did we test the system before putting in online? Do we not have any quality control? Will those responsible for selling us the 'faulty' electrical components or those responsible for installing same be taken to task?
I love that Mayor has set these improvements into motion but there are so many who want her to fail; we need to be taking names and notes.
Happy Easter to Fairhope, and thanks to the Mayor the the City employees that love our City.

This is Fairhope. Those were sold to the city by a friend of a friend of someone on the council. I think his name is Bubba.

New equipment like this usually has a warranty period.

Name names, or stop insinuating. Cowardly aspersions are worse than useless; they are pernicious.

Save it for Twitter.

As a homeowner if my sewer backed up the first time I flushed the toilet I would not say, gee things happen. I would say fix it now. And wonder what was coming next. When the money and inconvience is not at your door it is easy to say o well. But this should not have took place. They should be forced under court order if need be. To clean up any discharge.
