Raw sewage fills pond in Baldwin County subdivision | al.com: "FOLEY, Ala. -- A retention pond designed to hold rainwater in the Aspen Creek subdivision near Foley has been filled instead with raw sewage on more than one occasion since January and likely overflowed into the Magnolia River during rainstorms, according to officials.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management said the privately owned Baldwin County Sewer Services is responsible. Company officials said excessive rain led to the problems."
