Description
The city of St. Petersburg says crews have contained a pipe leak that caused more than 10,000 gallons of sewage to be discharged into Riviera Bay.
Plans now are in the works to expedite a complete pipe replacement project that could have construction crews in the area for more than a year.
According to a statement from city officials, a break in a sewage line on Friday, Aug. 18, on San Martin Boulevard NE led to 600 gallons of wastewater flowing into the bay that's popular with kayakers and other outdoor enthusiasts. The additional 10,000 gallons were spilled Saturday as crews worked to repair the broken line and contain the leak.
