A No Swim Advisory has been issued for Maule Lake after a private contractor broke a 4-inch wastewater pipe near 4500 E. Island Boulevard, that caused wastewater to spill into the lake, according to Miami-Dade County.
The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department has repaired the pipe, but officials are still urging people to not swim in several areas:
- Northeast 183rd Street to the north
- Oleta River to the south
- Biscayne Boulevard to the west
- Intracoastal Waterway to the east.
The Oleta State Park and Greynolds Park are also within the affected area, county officials stated.
