Ten days after a sewage spill left some Clearlake neighborhoods without clean running water, county leaders have approved emergency funding to help residents get through the crisis. The Lake County Board of Supervisors voted to spend $750,000 on water tanks and refilling services for impacted households. Officials say the money is meant to restore basic living conditions while crews work to determine whether private wells can be safely used again. Supervisors acknowledged frustration over delays and warned the situation could last longer than expected. The spill came from a damaged sewer line serving the Clearlake area.
