183,000 Gallons of Raw Sewage Spilled and now Winding Through the Caloosahatchee

A whopping 183,000 gallons of raw sewage spilled into your water and now it’s winding its way through the Caloosahatchee.

Crews are working on testing to try and find out why this happened and how you are affected.

“The smell is pretty bad,” says Calusa Waterkeeper John Cassani.

The clean water advocate is keeping tabs on our water.

“We’re taking some samples and trying to determine how contaminated it is right now,” he said.

This creek runs behind Fort Myers High School and it’s been on Cassani’s radar because of the spill that happened Thursday further inland.
