The effects of Tropical Storm Chantal continue to linger in Hillsborough, where unprecedented flooding caused the Eno River and floodwaters to rush into a storage tank and contaminate the town’s water supply.
On Friday, town leaders talked about the flooding of River Pump Station, which caused most of the town’s raw sewage to spill into the Eno River. Town leaders said 10 inches of rain during a short time caused widespread flooding and damage to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Extensive flooding at its sewer pumping station caused 75% of the town’s raw sewage to spill into the Eno River.
