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.
