This morning, crews still trying to repair that ruptured underground pipe thats leaked thousands of gallons of raw sewage on the peninsula. The pipe is near davit lane and anchor circle in the Redwood Shores. Anne makovec is right there with an update on repairs and cleanup. Anne, good morning. I have to ask you, can you smell it . Reporter you know, actually, when we arrived just before 5 00 a. M. , my photographer and i were noting to each other that we couldnt really smell anything. We were very glad for that. But now as the hours have been progressing, the smell has been increasing. You can see over here we have an exposed hole and thats where they are drawing sewage up from right now taking it into those tanker trucks and taking it away. Im guessing that now because people are wake up, showering, using the bathroom, theres just more exposure to that sort of stuff coming up through the hole so i think thats what were smelling right now. Let me tell ya, you should be glad you dont have smellevision. Its not so good. The pipe ruptured on wednesday. A little background on this stingy situation. Crews have been working nonstop to repair it. Its still broken. On wednesday it spilled raw sewage into the street to the nearby lagoon and into six peoples garages. 5,000 gallons of raw sewage total. Yesterday they excavated the pipe and gandhi verdicting the sewage into the tanker trucks that we just saw. But while the spill is over, the aftereffects are certainly not. The water in the Redwood Shores lagoon is likely contaminated with toxins and bacteria. We have called all the residents in the area to make them aware of the overflow into the lagoon. We have done some Water Quality testing thats with the lab and there currently are high levels of e. Coli and total coliform into the water. The city crews have not been able to determine what caused the pipe to burst or exactly how much sewage has made it into the lagoon or by this point into the San Francisco bay. They also dont know when they are going to have the pipes fixed. But again, this spill has stopped. They just need to continue work on the pipe around here. In the meantime we are going to be seeing these trucks taking the sewage away. They are keeping everybody updated with automated phone calls in the area. Yeah. This is one situation where i dont think there are a lot of lookyloos around. They are avoiding this area. [ laughter ] reporter its not good. Im telling you, its getting nauseating.
