Sewage Spill reported in Decatur

Raw sewage spilled into at least one DeKalb County waterway Saturday, according to the watershed management department.

County water reports show a 1,260-gallon spill into Burnt Fork Creek from the 1500 block of Country Squire Court in Decatur.

In December, the federal Environmental Protection Agency mandated the county upgrade its sewage system after more than 800 spills were reported in five years.
