Approximately 10,000 gallons of sewage spilled along a coastal roadway in Rancho Palos Verdes after a pipe burst on Saturday, Aug. 24.
The spill was reported around 9 a.m. along the 5500 block of Palos Verdes Drive South, across the road from the Portuguese Bend neighborhood, according to Michael Chee, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts.
A 16-inch long steel section of the pipe buried 6 feet underground burst near a vacant property along Palos Verdes Drive.
