Raw sewage

[Cougarbaby]

They stocked Deer Creek today,went for my nighttime walk and was going to do some trout spotting,at Cambell rd DHALO area the creek was completely filled with raw sewage, someone is rerouting the sewer about a mile above this for a development,I drove up and the water is clear,it's clear at 910 bridge by Martin rd so the problem is below that behind the self storage buildings or behind Narcisy winery,went home and called the sewer emergency number,the guy wasn't to thrilled to hear what I had to offer him but he knows me and my history installing sewers for a living,he's going down to investigate,PS IF ANY FISH LIVE I WOULDN'T EAT THEM,

Who should you call if you see raw sewage flowing into a stream?

Is the "sewage emergency number" a local or state-wide thing?

It's so sad to see what has happened to both Pine creek and Deer creek over the years in the area. I'm surprised any trout could survive in either waterway for any length of time.

that one stream in WV has both wild browns and raw sewage. I’m not excusing the improper handling of the wastewater- that should be fixed - just pointing out that it doesn’t necessarily mean fish can not survive. (Or thrive)

So you mean untreated sedimentation from stormwater runoff at a construction site, or is this actual human waste from a sanitary sewer?

problem is that stream is now facing fish kills from other crap flowing into it.
