"Wastewater began overflowing from a blocked sanitation line....By the time city crews got the problem under control about an hour later, roughly 1,370 gallons of sewage had spilled into a storm drain that empties into the San Diego River."

The issue was a sewage spill that happened in San Diego just yesterday. This story relates to class because it relates to our water testing and bacteria levels. I think it will be interesting to see how contaminated the water at dog beach was. One project idea would be looking into the other sewage spills and how they have effected to waters and for how long. I think this will be something we can include in our Media Saves the Beach project because it is exactly what we really dont want to happen and now we can have results to show why, and how bad it really is. You can probably get more information by google searching this spill.
