This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation, Tracking No. NOV-2022-0100 concerning the spill
that occurred on February 14, 2022, at 1254 Westminster Drive, Guilford County, High Point, North
Carolina.
The spill at the above -mentioned address lasted for approximately 1 hour and 6 minutes. The crews
arrived onsite at 1254 Westminster Drive at 7:52 am. They identified the blockage area and worked to
unstop the sewer main using a sewer combination cleaning truck. It was determined that the blockage
was caused by roots and grease. The overflowing manhole discharged into a storm drain that ran to a
wet weather ditch. The crew was unable to contain the spillage. Once the spill was knocked down, the
spill was cleaned up and lime was spread over the area as needed. The line was inspected by CCTV
camera to see if there were any other issues, none were found. The line was added to our root control
list and FOG door hangers were passed out in the area to help educate the residents about proper
disposal of grease.
The frequency of cleaning / inspection has been increased to help prevent any future spills in this area.
If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to call me at [phone].
