[Durham INC] Fw: RE: [Old East Durham] Goose Creek

[John Martin]

I'd like to find out:1) How old is this particular sanitary sewer main?2) When was any maintenance last done on it?3) When was it last inspected for possible leakage/breakage issues, and how was that inspection carried out?

Stormwater Quality Staff has responded to this already.  We received a call from Water and Sewer Maintenance around 2:00 this afternoon.  The source has been located and was determined to be a break in a sanitary sewer main.  The sewage was traced downstream to Long Meadow Park at Liberty Street where a pump was placed.

Mr. Martin-

Thanks for passing this along to us. Sorry about the delay in reply, I am out of the office at a training class this week. I am forwarding this email to our stormwater quality group as they investigate these issues. It looks like there should be enough information for them to track down the location, but they may contact you or Kate for more specifics.

Thanks again!
Lance

Hi Lance,
I'm forwarding this from the Old East Durham list serv. I don't know what this stuff is, but the picture does not look good.  It almost looks like someone dumped used motor oil into Goose Creek.

P.S. to Kate:  Dr. Lance Fontaine is a biologist with the City Storm Water Dept.

Hey neighbors,I was walking on E. Main St over Goose Creek today and noticed that the water in the creek was black. I walk back and forth this way often between our house on Cherry Grove and our office on Vine Street and have never noticed the water looking like this. I've attached a picture for reference. Anyone have any insight into this? I already reported it to the Division of Water Quality and will call Neighborhood Improvement Services tomorrow. Any suggestions of where else to report it?

Thanks for your help with this!Kate
