Current status from this report
Caution on Sandy Creek: Dated to the day only, no end reported: caution from the start of that day. Current rule period ends Nov 5, 2026, 12:00 AM EST. This is not a water-quality test.
Why this status: Caution: DirtyWaterWatch rule for reports dated to the day only, 72 hours from the start of the reported day.
Why we use this rule: Some state lists give only the day a spill began, with no time of day and no end (Georgia's daily list of municipal sewage spills). These reports show caution for 72 hours from the start of that day, with the day shown as the precision; after that the end is marked unconfirmed until 30 days after the spill began.
A report is not a test of the water. See how we assign statuses.
