St. Petersburg, Fla.(970 WFLA)-About 120,00 gallons of re-claimed water leaked into Smacks Bayou Wednesday after a contractor working on a storm drain project near 34th avenue and Poplar Street broke a main distribution pipe.
According to St.Petersburg's Public Works spokesman Bill Logan, the leak of fully-treated reclaimed-quality water lasted about twenty minutes.
Logan says water samples will be taken, and tested for contamination to determine if there's any potential damaging impact on the environment.
