Carroll County officials say the Patapsco River is closed after a sewer main ruptured spilling 10,000 gallons of sewage.
A contractor using a backhoe broke a sewer main in Sykesville about 10 a.m. Tuesday.
As a result state health officials closed the river to fishing and recreation until further notice.
The contractor was installing new pipes to connect water mains.
No customers have lost service.
