Untreated wastewater spilled onto a Cumming roadway

While not considered a major spill, Cumming city leaders say raw sewage spilled onto a public roadway Friday.
 
Public Information Assistant Crystal Leford says a contractor working on the sewer lines accidentally allowed a bypass pump discharge hose to spill about 5,000 gallons of untreated wastewater onto Golden Wood Court.
 
The hose was placed back into the manhole but not before some of the runoff went into Sawmill Creek.
