NACOGDOCHES, Texas — The line break that spilled sewer into Lanana Creek was repaired Monday in Nacogdoches.
City of Nacogdoches director of public works Steve Bartlett said the sewer line break was repaired this morning.
The sewer line broke Sunday afternoon after a tree fell, leading to raw sewer flowing into the creek. Officials did not issue a boil water notice.
A large tree fell across Lanana Creek about .25 mile south of the loop in an undeveloped area and destroyed a 15-inch sewer line, according to the city of Nacogdoches.
The tree caused the line to break and raw sewer flowed into the creek. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has been notified and city crews are working to plug the sewer line and make a temporary pump over the creek until the crossing can be fixed.
The city said a boil water notice is not associated with this sewer line break, and an outside contractor has been brought in to assist with repairs.
This line was replaced several years ago after a large log struck the line during flooding rain, the city statement read.
