The sewage spill affecting Clearlake continues to trigger emergency action as new details come in. The Clearlake City Council voted Thursday night to ratify a local emergency declaration after a ruptured sewer line spilled wastewater for more than a day and a half. Health officials have urged some residents to leave the area temporarily, while crews continue cleanup and expanded well testing. City leaders say more information is expected as county agencies work to update maps and assess contamination across the affected neighborhood.
