Thank you @Raleigh_Water for sharing this information publicly. You are setting a great example for other cities and towns and @NCDEQ. The public deserves to know when there is raw sewage in our environment. xitter.cf/Raleigh_Water/status/1…

Please no wipes in pipes. We had a sewer spill today because a sewer line was blocked with a collection of flushed wipes & paper towels. Please do your part in helping us protect the environment by always disposing of wipes & paper towels in the trash & NEVER in the toilet.

Could you please add: 1. Location 2. Amount 3. The nearest body of water impacted. Would also love to see a map on your website show the public where SSOs occur.

We currently have 2 rivers in Moderate flood stage: Tar River at Tarboro and Neuse River near Goldsboro. Please be mindful of flood roadways and don't forget "turn around don't drown!"

You may have noticed its been raining a lot. During wet periods Falls Lake pulls double duty by providing 80% of our drinking water and storing excess stormwater to reduce flooding in downstream communities. The lake is 8' abv normal pool, but still has storage capacity remaining

It took two days for this information to be released in a public notice. Make sure to avoid waters downstream of this spill into Tuckahoe Creek. @NCDEQ witn.com/2020/12/23/state-ar…

STATE: Around one million gallons of hog waste spills into creek that feeds Trent River

An investigation is underway after the state says a massive hog waste spill finds its way into the Trent River.

To make matters worse the Neuse basin is getting lots of rain over 24 hrs. The state, private companies, and local governments need to keep raw human and animal waste out of our water.

To meet demand, Pittsboro & Fuquay plan to buy water from Sanford. Uh-oh, Sanford's water is contaminated w #PFAS @HawRiverkeeper @UpperNeuseRK @NCDEQ @NCPolicyWatch ncpolicywatch.com/2020/12/07… #ncpol #ncga

As lawmakers gear up for 2021’s long session in the North Carolina General Assembly, they would be prudent to consider this record-setting storm season as a dire and urgent recitation of the old adage, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” newsobserver.com/opinion/art…
NC dodged a record hurricane season, but it better get ready for more storms

Heavy rain should not be a reason to dump raw human waste into our waterways. Improve the system.

Thank you @Anna_M_Johnson for reporting on this. Would not have seen it otherwise. @NCDEQ must improve SSO reporting so that citizens know when their water is being polluted.
