Sewage line spills into campus creek

Grease buildup in sewer lines caused 3,500 to 4,000 gallons of sewage to spill into Kraut Creek Sunday.
Kraut Creek runs through the Appalachian State University campus parallel to Rivers Street. The spill occurred near the corner of Hardin and Rivers streets in Durham Park, Boone Public Utilities Director Rick L. Miller said.
“It was mostly clear water, so it should not affect the area much at all,” Miller said. Miller said the water must be classified as “sewage” since it came from a sewer line.
