Full Story: Enough raw sewage to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool dumped into the Hillsborough River over a one-week period in January. The estimated 630,000-gallon spill began on Jan. 10 after Tampa Electric reportedly cut the power to a Tampa apartment complex’s lift station, which is a well that pumps wastewater.
