In August 2020 Wastewater Collection employees responded to an odor complaint. They used closed circuit television to find a cross bore. After research, it was found that the cross bore was accidently created by Dominion Energy. Staff worked with the property owner and Dominion Energy to relocate the electrical conduit and repair the 8-inch sanitary sewer. The project was completed on November 23, 2020.
