Swimmers beware: Miami-Dade County is having trouble holding its water.
The deluge over the weekend bathed the region in as much as eight inches of rain in some areas. But near Oleta River State Park, the flooding brought some badwater.
The North District Wastewater Treatment Plant overflowed, releasing about five million gallons of partially treated wastewater into the waters around the park.
Maul Lake, Sand Spur Island, and Biscayne Bay waters inside Haulover Inlet were also potentially affected.
The county has issued a public advisory warning against swimming in those waters, the second in as many months for the same reason. In January the plant released 1.2 to 1.6 million gallons of wastewater in the same area.
The county is currently testing to see if there is need for a continued advisory. Those results are expected Tuesday morning.
