In response to the Town of Taylorsvilles SSO's occurring on February 6th, the cause for these
overflows were due to severe natural conditions. The town experienced a downpour of 5.51
inches of rain in just a 24 hour period. Prior to this event, town employees made routine checks
on all pump stations and made sure all emergency equipment was in operation. Crews also used
vac trucks to pump out wet wells at high priority pump stations, such as Northwood and Paul
Payne pump station. Crews visited and recorded accurate data for each overflow site. Once the
SSO's subsided and it was safe to do so, crews, again went to each overflow site to clean the
spill and make sure all equipment was in operation.
