The Baldwin County Health Department notifies residents that a sewage spill occurred yesterday in the Daphne area of Alabama. According to a telephone report received by the health department, an electrical problem at a pumping station occurred, which resulted in 2,600 gallons of sewage being discharged into an unnamed tributary which empties into Lake Forest Lake.

The health department urges residents to exercise caution using this water body for recreational purposes. Also, thoroughly cook any fish or seafood caught near by and wash hands after handling fish or seafood.
