Several cities in Mobile County have reported sanitary sewer overflows, Mobile County Health Department said.
Saraland Water and Sewer Service has reported on Sanitary Sewer Overflows that occurred on Friday and Sunday. The events were the result of the strong storms that crossed over Mobile County.
The second SSO was from a manhole outside of the lift station located east of Highway 43 and south of Bayou Sara Avenue. In addition to the heavy rainfall, a power flicker caused a pump controller to malfunction. Less than 1,000 gallons spilled into Bayou Sara. Health officials said Bayou La Batre reported another overflow that happened Wednesday due to a pump station mechanical failure. The spill occurred from a manhole near 14090 Shell Belt Road. More than 1,000 gallons and less than 10,000 gallons were discharged but did not reach a body of water, the MCHD said.
