Sanitary Sewer Overflows: Frequently Asked
Questions Webpage
The DeKalb County Soil & Water Conservation
District, a
State agency dedicated toward educating citizens on the
protection of DeKalb County's natural resources, has produced a web page to
educate citizens on sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's).
The web page is in a "frequently asked questions"
format. Causes of SSO's, health impacts, how to report SSO's, are a
few of the topics addressed at
WWW.DEKALBCOUNTYSSO.COM
"From a health perspective, it's critical that
citizens recognize warning signs of SSO's, promptly document, and report
sanitary sewer overflows to the local government" stated Doug Denton, a
Supervisor with the DeKalb County S&WCD.
Urban Creeks tend to exceed federal Clean Water Act
standards for fecal contaminants. Such levels of contaminants are
detectable through laboratory testing.
"It's important that citizens are aware that a clear
creek doesn't necessarily mean a creek is clean," Denton stated.
Children are at particular risk of adverse health
effects associated with SSO's because of their natural curiosity around
creeks, according to the web page.
Citizens preferring a brochure of "Sanitary Sewer
Overflows: Frequently Asked Questions" should make requests to the DeKalb
Districts regional office at:
DeKalb Co.

I would love to find somebody who wants to get rid of
some green liriope (or monkey grass) so I can finish the median strip
between the street and sidewalk on Henderson Road. We will be glad to dig
it up if somebody wants to be rid of it. I, on the other hand, have some
English ivy (in my back yard - not the front yard) I would love to GIVE to
somebody - if they would dig it up and haul it to their house.

Here's a time saving tip. Rather than pulling out different phone books to find a
phone number, I find it easy and convenient to search the "BellSouth Online
Phone Book."
