Mercury News: At least 500000 gallons spewed in Sausalito sewage spill (CA)

From Mercury News:

A broken pipe gushed at least 500,000 gallons of partially treated sewage into San Francisco Bay by Wednesday afternoon as Sausalito sanitary plant officials worked to get the spill capped more than 24 hours after it was spotted.  Bob Simmons, general manager of the Sausalito-Marin City Sanitary District, said at about 5 p.m. the spill "was virtually stopped now" with a release rate of 1 gallon per minute…  "At some point, if we want to stop seeing massive sewage spills every single time we have serious storms, we've got to do something about that governance and accountability piece of this problem so we can get at the neglected infrastructure piece."
