Officials in central New York say an aging sewer pipe that's slated to be replaced has failed yet again, causing 4.5 million gallons (17 million liters)of raw sewage to flow into a lake.
New York environmental regulators have extended the comment period and scheduled a public meeting on a plan to repair damage from decades of industrial pollution on Onondaga Lake.
A lake that took decades to clean may not quite be ready for swimming after all, despite the fact that community leaders took a well-publicized dip in the water Wednesday.
