On Saturday, Valdosta city officials saythe leak in the 2100 block of Pin Oak Circle caused wastewater to exit the drain cleanouts of four homes.
A Valdosta spokesperson says the issue resulted from a chunk of asphalt getting caught in the city’s main sewer line. The city fixed the problem on the same day the flooding occurred. However, this is not the first time Valdosta residents have had problems with their sewage.
Several other recent spills have resulted in thousands of gallons of spilled wastewater.
Officials are working to rehab their sewage collection system. That includes "Manhole Rehab, the Smoke Testing Program, Sewer Main Lining, and Sewer Main Replacement."
