The spills, the RRSD said in a statement, where the result of the heavy rains associated with Hurricane Matthew which exceeded the carrying capacity of the pipes.
That caused untreated wastewater diluted by heavy rains to spill into the waters of the state tributary to the Roanoke River in the Roanoke River Basin in the wake of 8 inches of rain brought on by Matthew.
Preparation is being made for all known repairs necessary to reduce the source of inflow to return the pipe system to service and minimize further discharge.
