SAN ANTONIO – Thousands of gallons of sewage spilled into a creek on the Northwest Side after debris from recent storms possibly caused the incident.
The spill occurred around 5:40 p.m. on Saturday in the 9100 block of Datapoint Drive.
San Antonio Water System officials estimated that more than 50,000 gallons of domestic wastewater were spilled.
In a news release, SAWS said that the sewage spill potentially affected an “unknown intermittent creek.”
It’s unclear how many gallons affected the creek.
SAWS crews have since cleared the blockage and restored flow in the line, the release stated.
