ESG responded to an odor complaint. As part of our investigation we walked the sewer line and
discovered sewer leaking from an abandoned sewer tap due to a line blockage. The leak was
discovered at 1:03 pm and ceased at 1:48 pm when our crews cleared the blockage. There was
approximately 675 gallons of waste water released. The sewage discharged into a storm water
runoff ditch that flows to Bell Creek. The leak was estimated at 15 gpm from the time it was
discovered. There is evidence that the leak had happened prior to our finding but we have no
way to calculate the amount.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has been notified and the affected area has been
treated within the regulations of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to call the above listed contact persons.
