City reports wastewater discharge

Sunday, August 29, 2010 — The city of Albemarle had a discharge of approximately 50,000 gallons of secondary treated wastewater from the Long Creek Waste-water Treatment Plant at 1040 Coble Ave., Albemarle. The discharge occurred between Aug. 19-20, between the hours of 11:10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The secondary treated wastewater entered Little Long Creek.
