Heavy rainfall earlier this week caused a number of sanitary sewer overflows in Mobile and Baldwin counties.
The Mobile Area Water & Sewer System responded to multiple sanitary sewer overflows near the 8100 block of Airport Boulevard Thursday and Friday with two locations each spilling 29,600 gallons into Halls Mill Creek, according to the Mobile Department of Public Health.
In south Mobile County, the Utilities Board of the City of Bayou La Batre reported that heavy rain in the southern part of the system and power outages in the northern part of the system caused multiple overflows of more than 750,000 but less than 1 million gallons Thursday. Those overflows reached Bayou La Batre, officials said.
Across the bay, the Utilities Board of the City of Foley experienced multiple sewage spills on Thursday due to the rains. Areas affected included the Pebble Creek Lift Station at the end of Melbourne Court in the Pebble Creek Subdivision; North Alston Street between Section Avenue and Carnation Avenue; Baldwin County 20 west of Alabama; and the Azalea Lift Station at West Azalea Avenue and South Pine Street.
