The Utilities Board of the City of Foley experienced a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) on the morning of 11/28/2022. A sanitary sewer manhole overflowed inside an apartment development adjacent to the Crown Walk Lift Station. The cause of the SSO is found to be the lift station not operating within its design parameters.
