Breaking: Possible source of poop at Bruce Beach found

On WCOA this morning, Mayor Grover Robinson said ECUA may have found the source of sewage entering the city’s stormwater system that flows into Pensacola Bay near Bruce Beach when they did work repairing a line under Garden Street at Spring Street.

According to the mayor, the FDOT nicked a sewer line when it did work on Garden Street, which is also a state highway, decades ago.

Both ECUA and city engineers believe repairing the line will deal with the majority of the poop getting into the city’s downtown sewer system flowing into the bay near Bruce Beach.
