BRANSON, Mo. (AP) -- A state agency is investigating after more than 10,000 gallons of untreated waste flowed into a creek in southern Branson.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources said in a news release that it learned about the problem Friday.
The sewage overflow happened Wednesday after there was an electrical outage at a lift station.
The water flowed into a tributary of a creek that flows into Lake Taneycomo. It isn't known whether any of the wastewater made it to the lake.
