More than 18 million gallons of partially treated sewage have been released into Taylors Creek over three separate incidents earlier this month, according to press releases issued by the city of Hinesville and the Ogeechee Riverkeepers are taking notice. "The city of Hinesville has been having some ongoing problems with its wastewater treatment plant," the group posted on its Facebook page. "We are in the process of reviewing their permits and are developing a monitoring plan for Taylors Creek (a tributary of the Canoochee River), which this facility discharges into."
