DALLAS - A massive household raw sewage spill in Plano could affect White Rock Lake and Creek.

 

The North Texas Municipal Water District said construction crews working to building a parking structure near Toyota’s new headquarters in Plano bored a hole into one of its wastewater pipes Wednesday afternoon.

 

An estimated 1 million gallons of raw sewage spilled into White Rock Creek. That creek runs about 12 miles into White Rock Lake.

 

NTMWD fixed the broken pipe early Thursday but said it is still assessing the environmental impact of the spill, especially on the fish. Officials said there could be fish kill and a general bad smell around the lake.

 

Dallas councilman Mark Clayton said in a post on his Facebook page that the spill could result in the temporary closure of the White Rock dog park and the suspension of certain lake activities during the Fourth of July weekend.

 

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality are helping to come up with a plan to clean up the mess.
