Superstorm Sandy releases 2.4M Gallons Of Wastewater Into Pocomoke River

SNOW HILL, Md. —The town of Snow Hill said about 2.4 million gallons of wastewater was released into the Pocomoke River due to flooding from Superstorm Sandy.

The town announced the spillage Friday, saying it occurred on Monday due to high water from the storm, The Daily Times reported.

Water service Superintendent Frank Daniels said most of the spillage was river water and not raw sewage. He said he doesn't expect it to have an environmental impact because the wastewater was diluted and partially treated through two filtering systems before the overflow.
