Sewage Pollutes Harbor At San Pedro Plant
Sewage polluted the harbor when untreated waste was diverted from the booster plant into the main channel. Two 12 inch pumps were planned to connect to the main line as pipes are fabricated. Investigators consider a possible power outage on Monday as a factor. A small amount of sewage reached the surface Tuesday but was contained by booms. 1500 pounds of chlorine were added to reduce bacteria. Water off Cabrillo Beach is the affected area.
