On Monday the city of Columbia issued a sanitary sewer system overflow notification to customers near the 1 Block of Sunbelt Court, the 5900 block of Monticello Road, and the 1400 Block of Peeples Street.

City Wastewater Maintenance Division officials say the flooding is due to heavy rainfall in the collection system line. Last Tuesday a sewage overflow was reported in the same area.

City officials say they plan to repair a sewage line in the area that should help with the flooding however that plan has yet to be approved.

For any inquires concerning the notification, please call the City of Columbia's Wastewater Maintenance Division at 545-3910.
