ST. PAULS — An estimated 25,000 gallons of untreated sewage was released into the Little Marsh Swamp on Friday because of clogged lines at a Powers Street manhole, according to a statement released by the town of St. Pauls.
The clogged line, a result of residential grease build-up, has been cleaned and repaired, according to the statement. The spill was reported to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Division of Water Quality.
State law requires the information be provided to the media.
