Huge Raw Sewage Spill In Port Of Sacramento

SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) ― Officials are expected to get an idea of just how much damage was caused by last night's huge raw sewage spill in the Port of Sacramento.

Crews will be back out testing the waters this morning in the barge canal after thousands of gallons of sewage travelled underground from Stone Boulevard and Park. 

More signs will be put up to keep fisherman and swimmers away from the popular fishing spot.

The spill happened when construction crews were putting in a new sewage line and the valve broke.

The workers apparently didn't notice the leak for half an hour.

Crews are expecting to get the results of the water samples as early as this morning.

That will help them determine how much damage this spill has caused to fish and wildlife.
