The pollution build up in the Wicomico River has Salisbury work crews out dealing with globs of muck and trash that have come to the surface.
Mayor Jim Ireton says recent rains has resulted in flushing out the outfall pipes churning up the river.
In addition, to cleaning up the debris emerging from the water, he said, the city is working on a more long term solution like installing grates in the town streets to keep the trash from entering the river.
The Mayor said that the town has another 100 of them coming to the city.
WBOC reports that Ireton says that the town puts them up around convenience stores with high traffic.
He said that the city now needs to reach out to neighborhoods where a lot of trash ends up on the ground.
