Warning after sewage spills into rivers

• A warning for swimmers and fishers. A raw sewage spill in Colchester has environmental experts telling people to stay out of sections of two rivers. It's one of the state's top recreation area's. The Salmon River in Colchester and East Hampton is a favorite, especially for fisherman.
• The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection says about 50,000 gallons of raw sewage poured into the water after a sewer main between East Hampton and Colchester failed early Sunday morning. They're now testing the water and deciding how best to clean it up. DEP workers are posting signs to keep people from swimming or fishing in this part of the Salmon River or at the Jeremy River.
• DEP officials believe most of the sewage has washed away, but to be sure they're testing the water today for e coli. Those test results won't be in until Wednesday, so for the next 24-hours they don't want people to fish or swim here until they get those results and they know for sure there is no contamination.
