Places named in overflow reports (provisional)
2 places
Provisional location from overflow reports. Where the operator's own reports put an overflow: a manhole, pump station or plant. Not an outfall listed in a permit.
- Reported place · 3 overflow reports, latest Aug 23, 2026 · confidence high · no water record yet
- Reported place · 1 overflow report, latest Apr 28, 2026 · confidence medium · no water record yet
Source: the operator's own overflow reports to the state. DirtyWaterWatch groups reports within 50 metres into one place and finds the water below it with U.S. Geological Survey river maps (NLDI, NHDPlus). Not a permitted outfall; provisional until an official outfall record exists.
Reports and advisories
Treatment bypass: wastewater skips one or more treatment steps. Sanitary sewer overflow (SSO): sewage spills from a sewer meant to carry sewage separately from rainwater.
