Incident Number: 202102192
On 11/24/2021 the City of Elizabeth City experienced a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) located at 819
Walkers Ave. A visual Estimation of 300 gallons reached surface water through the nearby storm drain.
The source and the cause of the spill was due to a small blockage in the main line. The City owned
vacuum truck, and the jetting machine was used clean line, and restored normal flow. The line
indicates no breaks or failure in the line. We will continue to monitor the sewer backup calls if any
are reported. This spill has been documented in our records to add to our annual 10% cleaning in
2022.
Sincerely
