Oconee County is replacing a thousand feet of sewer line that has broken three times in the last year.
The Oconee Enterprise reports the force main line runs along an unnamed tributary of McNutt Creek that separates The Tanglebrook subdivision and the Pinewood Estates South mobile home part. More than 50,000 gallons of untreated sewage flowed from the latest spills into McNutt Creek and then into the Middle Oconee River.
The line being repaired is a major part of the county’s sewer system.
