Sewage Dumped In Area Stream By Ada Officials
Ada city and Pontotoc County health officials report two million gallons of partially treated sewage daily are being dumped into Little Sandy Creek due to a breakdown at the sewage plant. Repairs won’t begin until mid August as gears in the primary settling tank must be recast. Until then, treated water bypasses primary treatment and raises bacterial and chemical levels, prompting warnings against swimming or letting stock drink from the stream.
