- 2,000-gallon sewage overflow in Concord sends wastewater into nearby creek
A 2,000-gallon sewage overflow in Concord, caused by rags and grease, spilled into Irish Buffalo Creek on July 16. A separate 1,075-gallon overflow occurred in Charlotte the next day due to a grease blockage, affecting Kings Creek. Both incidents were cleaned up, but environmental impacts remain unclear.
