Saraland reports on Sanitary Sewer Overflow

MOBILE, Ala. — Saraland Water and Sewer Service has reported on a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) that occurred on June 8. The event was as located at manhole near 106 Veegee Street.

Saraland officials said it was caused by a power issue coming into the Saraland Street lift station. The pumps could not maintain the flow within the area. As a result, approximately 20 gallons overflowed from the manhole.

The area was cleaned, disinfected and signs were posted. The SSO did not go into any drainage ditch or waterway.

Dr. Kevin Michaels, Health Officer for Mobile County, advises area residents to take precautions when coming into contact with any standing water that may have accumulated as a result of this overflow.
