Crew working to fix Auburn sewage discharge created by blockage

A sewage blockage in Auburn has led to a sewage overflow into the Owasco River on Monday.

A NY Alert notification was issued alerting residents of the overflow from the city’s combined sewer system near 20 Genesee St. Around 9 a.m., the time the overflow was first reported, it was estimated that the partially treated discharge was flowing at about 50 gallons per minute.
