Break Spills Raw Sewage Into S.D. River
A private sewage main for a condominium project was spewing raw sewage into the San Diego River Floodway Tuesday night at a rate of one to two gallons per minute, the county health department reported.
Workers were attempting to repair the main in the 3000 block of Rue d’Orleans near Midway Drive after the leak was discovered at 8:40 p.m., said Larry Bodenhamer, a hazardous-materials specialist.
He said signs would be posted to warn of a health hazard at the site of the spill and downstream at Ocean Beach’s “Dog Beach.”
