Florida flooding, aftermath releases thousands of gallons of raw sewage

Raw sewage and wastewater bubbled up from manholes, seeped into soil and threatened major waterways after El Niño rainfall and flooding overwhelmed Treasure Coast sewers. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw, untreated sewage escaped into the environment in November, during and after severe flooding, according to a TCPalm analysis of state pollution reports from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Most of the problems were in St. Lucie County and the Indian River Lagoon . Millions of gallons of treated wastewater were discharged into the lagoon, not counting any other sources of surface runoff. However, the full scope of the pollution runoff and its impact on the environment remains unclear. Due to the intensity of the rainfall and flooding, wastewater utilities were unable to measure or estimate sewage spills that were widespread in Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie beginning Nov. 2, records show. Fort Pierce Utilities Authority now estimates 476,000 gallons of raw sewage overflowed from manholes and escaped into the city's environment during the historic flooding, said utility spokesperson Calvin Daniels. The overflows affected Taylor Creek and Moore's Creek, which both flow into the Indian River Lagoon, and the utility has been conducting water samples, he said.
