 Crews worked through the night to repair a broken sewer main that sent 5,000 gallons of sewage per minute into the creek at the Valley Forge National Historical Park. Tredyffrin Township officials said the break appeared to have occurred around 10:30 a.m. in a pipe section of the Valley Creek Trunk Sewer Force Main near the intersection of Routes 252 and 23 in Upper Merion Township. Officials said in a release that repairing the main “will require extensive damage assessment and traffic control.” 
 
 An initial radio report indicated about 5 million gallons of raw sewage spilled into the Valley Creek.
– Perhaps today's most disgusting news: A sewer main at Valley Forge National Historic Park broke yesterday, sending 5,000 gallons of sewage per minute into the creek at the Pennsylvania park. Crews worked overnight to repair the 30-inch main, which had also broken six weeks ago, NBC Philadelphia reports. A replacement pipe was expected to arrive this morning. At least 5 million gallons of raw sewage have leaked into Valley Creek, WPVI reports. "All the water goes down into the Schuylkill River and then it goes into Philadelphia in the Delaware River. People get their drinking water out of this and there's the health problem," says one state conservation officer; but NBC Philadelphia says officials insist humans are at no risk from the leak. Wildlife, however, could be. All roads running through the park are currently closed, Philly.com reports; they are expected to remain closed for a few days as crews continue to work in the area.
