Sanitary Sewer Overflow at Academy Creek in Brunswick – August 5, 2025

Written by jsellers on . Posted in Sanitary Sewer Overflow.

The Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water & Sewer Commission, NPDES Permit GA0025313, in accordance with permit requirements, makes public notice of a sanitary sewer overflow that occurred on August 5, 2025 into the Academy Creek.

Date of Spill: 8/5/2025

Time: 9:12 PM

Location of Spill: 2909 Newcastle Street

Cause of Spill: The overflow was primarily caused by a failure of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, which resulted in a loss of visibility and control at the headworks. This failure delayed the activation of critical pumping systems and prevented timely detection of rising wet well levels.
Compounding the issue, the analog alarm system located at the headworks—designed to alert the operations building in the event of high-water levels—was non-functional at the time of the incident. Had this alarm been operational, it would have provided early warning and likely prevented the wet well from flooding above floor level.
Additionally, the two overhead monitors in the operations building, which are intended to provide continuous visual monitoring of the wet well, were also not functioning. These monitors would have clearly indicated the SCADA outage and allowed for immediate corrective action.
The simultaneous failure of these critical monitoring and alert systems significantly contributed to the delayed response and the resulting overflow.

Estimated Volume of Discharge: Approximately 2,000 gallons

Discharged: Manhole into a storm drain

Corrective Action Taken:

– Manual activation of pumps to reduce wet well levels
– Debris washdown at the headworks
– Inspection of affected areas
– Coordination among operators for containment and response
– Restoration of SCADA system
– Bypass gate raised to reduce overflow Vac-Con Cleanup (see Photos 10 for visual reference).

Service Disruption Notice for Saint Simons Island – July 28, 2025

Written by jsellers on . Posted in Service Outages.

UPDATE AS OF 9:14 AM: The distribution mains have been successfully flushed, and all air has been purged from the lines. Water tank pressure is steadily increasing, which is helping to resolve reduced water pressure. As adequate water pressure was maintained, water will not need to be boiled before use.  

Date: July 28, 2025
Time Reported: 7:55 AM

A temporary water service disruption was reported in the Saint Simons Island service district due to air present in the distribution mains. The affected area extends approximately from Sea Island Road to Mallery Street. Crews have responded promptly and have flushed the distribution mains to remove the air. Water tank pressure continues to increase, and service is in the process of being fully restored.

We appreciate your patience during this issue!
