Baltimore Co. diverts sewage spill

Several area beaches remain closed heading into the holiday after almost 6 million gallons of raw sewage poured into a Bay tributary in Rosedale over the weekend.

Baltimore County officials said they successfully diverted the overflow into a city sewage manhole Saturday evening, but said health advisories are still in place in Back River. The public should not drink or come in contact with water in Back River, environmental officials said, and the beach at Rocky Point has been closed until further notice.
