Raw Sewage Spills Into North Century Boulevard Area Ditch

October 25, 2018

Hundreds of gallons of raw sewage spilled into a ditch off North Century Boulevard Tuesday and Wednesday.

The spill was discovered on Alger Road north of North Century Boulevard  during a daily check of a sewage lift station. Town employees found an electrical failure caused by a blown fuse which prevented an alarm that would have alerted workers earlier.

Century Water/Wastewater Superintendent Alicia Jernigan reported that an estimated 500 gallons of wastewater spilled into the ditch, according to a report filed with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, between 12:40 p.m. Tuesday and noon Wednesday.

    Will you ask if other resident’s toilets are gurgling in Century? Please . If so it’s need to be reported to TOC.

    Our started yesterday and we are going to check and clear the vent on the roof ourselves for starters, and see if that does solves the problem.

    The next course of action, simultaneously will be to plunge or even snake our sewer line in the yard and through the clean out or perhaps call a plumber which could be costly.

    But if it is happening all over or elsewhere it may be in the municipality line and if it’s not corrected can back up in homes.

    Is this a neighborhood problem? If so there could be an obstruction father down the line from out home.
