Sewage Spill caused by ATT contractor

Lake Worth Beach sewage spill update: Five things to know and can you drink the water?

LAKE WORTH BEACH — Here is the latest on the health alert issued by the city of Lake Worth Beach after a contractor for AT&T damaged a 36-inch subregional wastewater force main on Florida Mango Road between Waterside Drive and the L-10 Canal on Tuesday.

A health alert, no swim advisory and no irrigation for a number of waterways are all still in effect as Lake Worth Beach Water Utilities crews and emergency contractors are working to repair the break.

Lake Worth Beach officials said they are in communication and are collaborating with the affected municipalities including Palm Springs, Lantana, Atlantis, Manalapan, South Palm Beach, Lake Clarke Shores and Palm Beach State College.

"Water, Water all around, and not a drop to drink!"

It looks like we are surrounded on all sides by non-potable water, but as far as Lake Worth Beach City Limits, we have dodged a bullet.

Do you think this will spread to our city, or is it contained?

Thank you for the update!
