The sanitary sewer system operated and maintained by the Wastewater Operations Department of Electric City Utilities has recently experienced a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO).

This SSO event occurred along a tributary of Cox Creek approximately 500 LF east of the crossing of Lindale Road (Map Included).  Electric City Utilities and the City of Anderson strive to prevent SSOs from occurring and this SSO event has been contained and stopped. This event was caused by the effects of the recent heavy rainfalls.
