Sewage flowing from Mexico across U.S. border again after temporary solution fails

The flow of sewage from Mexico across the U.S. border near the Naco Point of Entry has started again after it was stopped around 11 a.m. Cochise County Sheriffs say the sewage is flowing west onto private property. They say work is ongoing to mitigate the flow. The public is advised to avoid the area. Health officers say there is no immediate threat to public health and are preparing to clean up the mess. Pre-evacuation orders for residents near the flow have been canceled.
