North Carolina sewage discharges, April 2023
110 records of sewage discharges and water advisories in North Carolina dated in April 2023, newest first. Each record keeps the source's own times and wording.

Sanitary sewer overflow (SSO): sewage spills from a sewer meant to carry sewage separately from rainwater. Cyanobacteria (harmful blue-green algae) can make water unfit for contact; the issuing authority decides when its advisory ends.
