Alleged Sewage Overflow Is Investigated in Captain's Cove

An investigation has been launched into a complaint from residents of Captain's Cove of a sewage overflow problem in the housing development.

The complaint asserted sewage was spilling from houses on Bayside Drive, Blackbeard Road, and other places as well. The complaint also claimed storms made the problem worse. The report also asked the SCC to pursue receivership of the Captains Cove Utility Company.

The complaint was sent to several State agencies including the Virginia Department of Health, the State Corporation Commission, the Department of Environmental Equality and Governor McDonnell's office. The Virginia Department of Health's Office of Drinking Water and Shellfish Sanitation and the Attorney General's Office are assisting in the investigation. An unofficial Notice of Violation was also issued to the President of Captain's Cove Utility Company Roger Young after the complaints were filed.

Shellfish closures have been put in place in Swan's Gut Creek as a preventive measure while the health district monitors reports of sewage overflow in Captain's Cove.
