Reviewing ADEM public notices, I discovered the Water, Sewer, and Gas Board of Wedowee and the Roanoke utilities Board each had sanitary sewage discharges to waters of the State. The Wedowee outfall is Wedowee Creek (Lake Wedowee). Roanoke outfall is High Pine Creek that flows into the Tallapoosa River in Chamber County. The discharge violations have been occuring for years and has resulted in consent orders with thousands of dollars in fines. I do not know if City of Dadeville has entered into such an order to fix the waste water treatment plant.
I seem to remember a similar situation 10-15 years ago when sludge was deposited into Elkahatchee Creek by City of Alexander
City. Was that sludge ever removed? Or was the only the outfall moved to the main lake above Wind Creek Park?
Accountability from the regional municipalities would be appropriate. They bring in residential, commercial, and industrial developments and soak up increase revenue through sales and property taxes. It is the fault of city planners that discharges to waters of the State are occuring.
