80,000 gallons of sewage entered Maline Creek on Monday, officials said. The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) sent crews to make repairs after a sewer main break occurred near Riverview and Chain of Rocks Drive in north St. Louis City.
MSD discovered the leak during a routine inspection of the sewer main in the area on Monday. MSD said the initial break was contained but more extensive work is needed to repair the broken pipe.
