A new report shows that 20,000 litres of raw sewage leaked into the Red River Floodway this week.
According to a City of Winnipeg untreated sewage report, the seepage took place over the span of 4.5 days. It notes that it was caused by a leak in an air release valve.
City workers were able to isolate and stop the leak on Wednesday.
The report adds that most of the sewage was collected by a land drainage catch basin and then discharged into the Red River Floodway.
CTV News Winnipeg has reached out to the City of Winnipeg and Province of Manitoba for more information.
