Officials believe it’s the result of “grease and debris clogging sewer lines in the area.”

According to SAWS, the spill didn’t spread to any other surrounding areas and was contained to a dry pond.

No time estimate was given as to when the cleanup would be complete. We’ll bring more updates as they become available.
