Douglas Avenue Sewage Spill Update | Virginia Beach News
Description
A major sewage spill on Douglas Avenue in Portsmouth forced the replacement of 40 feet of pipe, with HRSD working to restore the area. Though the repaired line is now stable and the street reopened, cleanup continues—with final paving expected within a couple weeks. Nearby residents voiced concerns over safety and sanitation, while the Portsmouth Health Department lifted a water advisory for Hull Creek after testing confirmed improved conditions. Officials note an ongoing algal bloom affecting appearance and odor but not toxicity. HRSD remains committed to restoring affected properties to their original—or better—state, keeping residents informed as cleanup progresses.
