Guyandotte River

I know someone who worked a summer for the Department of Highways and they were flushing some culverts in the town of Helen. This town sits on Winding Gulf Creek. This creek dumps into the Guyandotte River. Anyway as they were flushing the culvert it was discovered that it was causing several house's toilets to spew water eveywhere. Apparently the majority of the about 50 or so houses had their sewage dumping diectly into the culvert which then went directly into the creek. This section of the Guyandotte mentioned above is about 25 miles below this creek so the potentcy of the sewage may dwindle by then by the time the water reaches this section. Just some information I thought I'd pass along.
