Minor Sewer Spill Occurred As Oconee County Completed Replacement Of Troubled Forced Main Sewer Line On Tributary To McNutt Creek

***1,300 Gallons Of Untreated Sewage Released***

Oconee County has completed replacement of the 1,000 feet of forced main sewer line that produced three major spills in a year into a tributary to McNutt Creek that separates Tanglebrook subdivision and the Pinewood Estates South mobile home park.

As work was being completed on the new forced main replacement line, and before the switch to the new line, a minor spill occurred resulting from a break in the old forced main line.
