Massive sewage spill contaminates Willamette River in Oregon

A mechanical malfunction at the Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant caused around 500,000 gallons of treated sewage to spill into the Willamette River near Lake Oswego's Foothills Park. People were warned to stay out of the river for 48 hours due to possible increased bacteria in the water.
