Broken pipe causes sewage spills in Hunt Valley

A break in a temporary sewage pipe caused multiple sewage spills in Hunt Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the Baltimore County Department of Public Works. Public works officials have not yet been able to estimate how much sewage spilled from the line before it was stopped, but it could amount to hundreds of thousands of gallons. Workers discovered a break in a temporary sewer pipe just north of Padonia Road at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. It was fixed at about 11 a.m. Wednesday.
