Sewer Pipe Fails, Wastewater Spills Into Md. Creek
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Anne Arundel County public works officials say nearly 14,000 gallons of wastewater has spilled into Weems Creek in Annapolis.

The Capital of Annapolis reports that health and environmental officials were notified. Residents will not be advised to avoid contact with the creek.
