Sewage spills into Rialto flood control channel
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
RIALTO - Hundreds of gallons of sewage leaked into a flood control channel this morning before crews were able to seal off the leak, fire dispatchers said.
San Bernardino County fire officials reported seeing sewage bubbling out of the ground on Ayala Drive north of Casmalia Street at 6:46 a.m.
Crews said 200 to 300 gallons were spilling into the channel per minute, said fire dispatch supervisor Donna Mueller. Hazardous materials workers, San Bernardino County flood control and Caltrans officials were called to the scene north of Interstate 210.
Rialto firefighters eventually located the problem and sealed the leak. The cause of the leak was not immediately known.

EWE!! POO POO, pouring down the street at 200 to 300 gallons per minute. that is a lot of gallons of water or raw sewage, to hit the streets. "so to say". I am sorry for the sudden attempt at humor, but this has to be a stinky business, to have such a clog. Nothing but the worst of what they could. I suppose they called a POLICE Officer out on a call and sent them to the location, to see what they could smell, or see!! But they must have figured it was raw sewage right away!
I have been on these calls and they are very smelly and stinkie, and then they ask for you to try to find the origin of the water spilling, and it is always out a manhole cover in the middle of the street somewhere.
I just hope that they got the chair or what ever it was that was clogging it up out of there.
