Wastewater leak closes intersection

TAMPA - A 42-inch pipe carrying wastewater sprang a leak over the Memorial Day weekend, prompting officials to close part of a Seminole Heights street for a cleanup. Residents along 12th Street from Sligh Avenue to Norfolk Street learned about the rupture after Tampa wastewater crews went door to door Monday to notify them of what happened. The intersection of 12th Street and Norfolk Street is closed to through traffic. City officials said Tuesday they were still assessing the damage and were uncertain how long the cleanup would take. The affected pipeline extends from the north bank of the Hillsborough River to the intersection of 26th Street and Lake Avenue, approximately 20,000 feet.
