Wilmington City Schools announced on social media that crews were working on a sewer line at the high school last week.
“Once the pipes for the original issue were exposed and gravel pulled out of the lines, they were able to run cameras further back into the lines to make sure there were no additional problems before closing up the hole,” the school district said. “Unfortunately, late Tuesday night, we found an additional major failure in this line under the kitchen.”
