About 216 million gallons of sewage has spilled into Fort Lauderdale’s waterways over the past three months, said officials in the Florida city, as the mayor told reporters that he’s seeking state and federal aid to fix the problem.
“Considering the extent of this pollution, we should be more than eligible for state and federal assistance,” Mayor Dean Trantalis told the Sun-Sentinel over the weekend. “We cannot suffer this burden alone.”
