GRANDVIEW, Wash. (AP) — The Benton-Franklin Public Health District issued an alert because of a sewage spill at Grandview.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports about 300,000 gallons spilled from a broken main Wednesday and likely reached the Yakima River.

The health district advised people not to swim in the river and to avoid contact with irrigation water in the Kennewick, Prosser and Columbia districts.

The flow in the 21-inch line was diverted and crews are replacing about 60 feet of pipe.
