SMITHFIELD – The Town of Smithfield says approximately 1,500 gallons of untreated wastewater spilled Monday on North Equity Drive. The spill was caused by a sewer backup. The untreated wastewater was discharged into the open ditches along North Equity Drive.
Town crews immediately responded. After the sewer was unstopped, employees vacuumed the sanitary sewer out of the ditches. Once this was completed, crews spread a layer of lime on the affected surfaces.
