CB Sanitary Sewer Overflow, Dec. 14

News release City of Coos Bay, Friday, Dec. 11, 4:27 p.m. Coos Bay is currently experiencing extremely high tides, storm surges, and intense rain events. This is causing increased water surface elevations within the bay. Due to these events, the outfall pipe that conveys treated and disinfected sewer effluent to the bay from the City of Coos Bay’s Wastewater Treatment Plant 1 (located at 680 Ivy Avenue) has become hydraulically overloaded causing 1,125 gallons of sanitary sewer (treated and disinfected) to overflow from a manhole located adjacent to the Plant at the intersection of Koos Bay Boulevard and N. 6th Street. The Department of Environmental Quality, Oregon Department of Agriculture, and Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS) was notified of the incident. Any questions can be directed to the City of Coos Bay Public Works Department at 541-269-8918.
