Sewage leaks into Evitts Creek

CUMBERLAND - The Oldtown Road Sanitary District reported a sewer leak Sunday afternoon that resulted in 50,000 gallons of sewage leaking into Evitts Creek.

A temporary repair was completed at 2 a.m. Monday. Employees of the Allegany County Utilities Division were repairing the connection to the county's force main and cleaning up the area Monday.

The county will take samples on a weekly basis until the stream returns to normal E-coli levels.
