Tune in to WHUP tomorrow morning at 8 for updates on the aftermath of the Chantal deluge from Hillsborough, southern Orange and the rest of the Triangle. Stay informed with an hour of all-local news M-F in real time or any time on https://whupfm.org/!

UPDATE: Temporary pumps have been installed to bypass the flooded River Pump Station so that raw sewage that is typically pumped by that station can be treated by the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The Eno River flooded the Wastewater Treatment Plant and several sewer pump stations. Much of the wastewater that reaches the plant is flowing untreated into the river due to pump station flooding and failure. Avoid showering or washing clothes or dishes today to help reduce the flow of untreated wastewater.

Chantal dumped 8 inches of rain on Hillsborough, causing major flooding and damage. The town is under a boil-water advisory until further notice, which means most restaurants and other businesses that need water will be unable to provide service. Tune in to the 3-D News between 8 and 9 this week for continued updates and ways you can help our community get through this. Send any info you'd like us to share to [email protected]. And help your neighbors!
