Wow, that's huge compared to some of the others reported at the little subdivision sized pump stations.

My 24x4' round pool is appox 12,000 gallons so, if my math is correct, that amount is approx a 68' diameter pool, 8 ft deep. That's a lot of doodoo. The county may get quite a fine for this spill from the EPA.

Also, looks like Mill creek ends up in Pine Valley Lake and Sweetwater creek, then in the Chattahoochee near Sweetwater creek state park.

Yuck.
