An old concrete patch used to repair a hole in a Pueblo wastewater pipe that ultimately failed and leaked millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Arkansas River in late August was unknown to the city wastewater department prior to the spill.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) subsequently issued advisories warning people to avoid contact with the river in several areas, including Blende, Avondale, Fowler, Manzanola, Rocky Ford, La Junta, and Las Animas.
