  11:10 p.m. on July 2, and ended at 3:45 a.m. July 3," Al Hodges, environmental engineer for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, said."In that period of time, 48,000 gallons overflowed from the pump station, and went into an unnamed tributary that traveled into the
  
  Contentnea."
  
  Hodges said the same situation has happened several times before.The line can pump a certain amount of gallons per minute, and when the flow exceeds that rate, a second pump kicks in, Hodges said.
  
  "Once (the flow) gets to a certain depth, it seeps into the sewer line beyond pump station ability, and overflows," Hodges said.
  ...
  Hodges said the cost to repair the line is still unknown.The Contentnea Metropolitan Sewerage District recently applied for several grants from the Rural Center and Clean Water Management Trust Fund for more than $1 million for a new line.
  
  Hodges was unsure of the entire system's age, but said there are different degrees of age on that collection.
  
  "As is, it will occur again, depending on the rain," Hodges said.

  ...
  Hodge said it is too early to say if the city will face fines for the latest sewage spill.
  
  Hodge also said the city's preliminary spill estimate of 30,000 to 40,000 gallons may be too low.
  
  "It may be 30,000 to 40,000 (gallons) or 130,000 to 140,000 gallons," he said.
  ...
  Hodge said environmental officials will assess the damage Monday, unless further complications happen over the weekend.
