DOWNTOWN MIAMI, Fla. – Miami-Dade County has posted no-swim signage in certain areas of the county following a sewage spill in Biscayne Bay caused by a sewage break.
Although the spill has since been contained and capped by Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department crews, a swim advisory remains due to the spill and odor. Tuesday morning, crews stopped the spill and rerouted flows.
“Due to the redundancy of the service area, no one will be without wastewater service as a result of this break or during the repairs,” the news release stated.
Areas that are affected by the no swim warning include the Julia Tuttle Causeway to the north, the eastern boundary of the Intracoastal Waterway, Virginia Key Beach/Dog Beach to the south and the mainland as the western boundary.
The contractor will have to pay a fine and the cost of the entire reparation process, said Jose Cueto, director of the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department.
