Peachtree City’s Water and Sewerage Authority continues to address a sewage spill that occurred on March 8. Corrosion caused by hydrogen sulfide led to the rupture of a 12-inch pipe in the northern part of the city, which allowed 9,000 gallons of wastewater to flow into a tributary leading to Lake McIntosh.
PCWASA followed its emergency response protocol within hours of the spill, and notified the Fayette Water System and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.
PCWASA General Manager Stephen Hogan said that no drinking water production was affected, and work is underway to fix the sewer line and prevent future breaches.
