Sewage Overflow in South Troy
June 25, 2013

The discharge “stream” is completely coated with toilet paper

During high flow periods the level is higher, indicated by toilet paper on branches

The discharge “stream” is hidden by vegetation and is in a deep ditch

The sewage stream runs about 50’ before it meets the Wynants Kill.
