State water quality regulators have fined the Virginia-based operator of a wastewater collection system that serves a Currituck County residential subdivision. The Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Resources has fined Sandler Utilities at Mill Run, LLC $62,517.96 for failure to effectively manage, maintain and operate its sewer collection system that serves the Eagle Creek Subdivision, a development of about 400 homes in Moyock. The state announced the penalty Monday. The division said it had received complaints from homeowners beginning Sept. 29 indicating that the Eagle Creek collection system was not operating and sanitary sewer overflows were ongoing. Sewage generated in the development is conveyed from homes by a vacuum sewer collection system to a central wastewater plant located within the subdivision. Residents reported being without reliable sewer service for about two weeks.
