WENGNews writes, "WORKERS REPAIRING THE WATER MAIN BREAK ON VENICE ISLAND CAUSED A COUPLE OF SMALL SEWAGE SPILLS EARLIER THIS WEEK. ACCORDING TO CITY OFFICIALS, WORKERS SPILLED ABOUT TWO HUNDRED GALLONS OF RAW SEWAGE ON TUESDAY MORNING NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF NOKOMIS AND TAMPA AVENUES. WORKERS VACUUMED THE MUCK INTO THE SANITARY SEWER AND DISINFECTED THE AREA WITHOUT INCIDENT. THEN WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER ONE HUNDRED GALLONS WAS SPILLED WHILE CREWS CONTINUED WITH THE REPAIR WORK IN THE SAME AREA. ABOUT TWENTY GALLONS OF THAT WENT INTO A STORM DRAIN, AND THE REST WAS VACUUMED UP WITH THE AREA BEING DISINFECTED ONCE AGAIN. THE CITY SAYS THAT ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES WERE NOTIFIED, AND THERE IS NO DANGER TO THE PUBLIC OR THE ENVIRONMENT. "
