The @SunSentinel's @lbarszewski wrote about @Surfrider testing water and finding high bacteria levels in this area a week ago -- now, there's a break. @FTLCityNews should say whether main was leaking, whether sewage from other breaks flowed there, or what. sun-sentinel.com/local/browa…

Another day, another spill: this time, right where 954 Paddle Crew and Surfrider Foundation warned of unsafe waters a month ago. No action was taken by the city to close the waters to recreational use or investigate why their was high bacteria counts. change.org/p/fort-lauderdale…

It looks to me that the Victoria Park Break was on a smaller 16” line that hooks up with the 48” line on NE 14 Ave. If true, it should be an easier repair. Now we all know where to look for leaks for the next 3 or 4 years until they get the pipes replaced. ⁦@lbarszewski⁩

Day 15, Christmas Eve, 20,000 gallons per minute of raw sewage still flow into the Tarpon River and Florida’s Waterways. An environmental catastrophe of epic proportions. Experts estimate over 300 million gallons of discharge. ⁦@Susannah_Bryan⁩ ⁦⁦@lbarszewski⁩
