Clearlake residents impacted by Sunday’s sewer spill were told Wednesday night that some may need to temporarily leave their homes due to contaminated well water. County health officials say early testing shows contamination in several wells, prompting relocation advice for families with young children, older adults, and people with health concerns. Environmental officials also acknowledged that while unlikely, long-term impacts to the aquifer are possible. Crews say cleanup and water testing will continue as officials work to fully understand the extent of the damage.
