About 1,000 fish were killed when sewage from an energy company spilled into the Derita branch of Little Sugar Creek northeast of uptown Charlotte on Wednesday, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services.
An estimated 230,000 gallons of sewage spilled at Orbit Energy Charlotte LLC in the 600 block of Johnson Road, off North Graham Street, the storm water services department reported in a news release.
Apparently this happened also 2 weeks prior and again 3 years ago!
The company produces electricity by liquefying food waste, turning it into methane and burning it.
