Vigilant Local Resident Reports Sewage Leak at Valley Mill
In December, Eyes of Paint Branch was notified by a local resident about a potential sewage leak in Valley Mill Park, off Randolph Road. When WSSC first went out to investigate, it could not locate the leak due to heavy snow and ice cover. But after further search by WSSC and an inspector from the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection, aided by follow-up work from an MNCPPC official, a clogged and overflowing manhole was found and fixed, and damage to the stream was averted.
Eyes of Paint Branch urges all residents who notice suspicious smells near the streams to report them to Bill Martin, Environmental Health Specialist II, Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection, 240-777-7746.
