About 2,300 gallons of untreated wastewater overflowed on Eastowne Drive on Wednesday, according to Orange Water and Sewer Authority.
OWASA officials say crews responded to the overflow near Providence Road and found the wastewater coming from a sewer on Eastowne. The overflow occurred because a contractor damaged the sewer, according to OWASA. The spill occurred in an area that drains to Booker Creek.
The OWASA crew flushed the spill area with water and OWASA staff provided information about the overflow to the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, according to a release. The state division is now reviewing the matter.
