SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — 14,000 gallons of raw wastewater spilled into Sarasota Bay on Sunday at West John Ringling Causeway Park.

A pollution notice posted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said city staff were alerted to water coming up out of the ground at around 11:21 a.m.

“Staff investigated and found that the concrete vault over the 2-inch air release valve had shifted due to soil erosion, likely from the 2024 Hurricane season, and broke the 14-inch x 2-inch saddle off the 14-inch force main,” the notice said.
