Sewage spills keep happening as Cobb Water System reports latest overflow, 2,400 gallons of sewage into Noonday Creek Tributary 

The recurring sewage overflow incidents in Cobb County, particularly the recent spill of 2,400 gallons into the Noonday Creek Tributary, have raised significant concerns among residents and stakeholders. This incident is the fifth reported in recent weeks, with various causes ranging from grease and separated sewer mains to roots and debris. The community is expressing dissatisfaction with the perceived lack of leadership and urgency from Chair Lisa Cupid and other officials.

The most recent incident on March 3 at 2219 Lattimore Farm Drive in Kennesaw resulted in an overflow that entered a tributary of the Noonday Creek. The Cobb County Water System was notified promptly, and the overflow was stopped within the same day. Despite the quick response, residents are questioning the overall handling of the situation and the commitment to resolving these ongoing sewage issues.

In addition to the incidents listed, concerns about the environmental impact and potential damage to water systems, rivers, tributaries, and the overall ecosystem are prevalent among residents. The lack of information on the consequences of these sewage leaks has led to calls for transparency, proactive communication, and swift action from county leadership. Citizens are urging officials to prioritize the well-being of Cobb County and address the root causes of these recurring spills.

Residents and stakeholders are advised to stay informed about water quality issues following such incidents and take necessary precautions. The community is seeking decisive leadership and a clear plan to mitigate the environmental consequences of these sewage spills. The ongoing sewage overflow incidents highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to address the infrastructure issues and prevent further environmental damage.
