FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: To Florida, where health officials are telling swimmers to stay out of the water along much of the southern coast. A broken pipeline yesterday spilled millions of gallons of raw sewage into Biscayne Bay. Now CNN's Pat Neal us now with an update -- Pat.</s>PAT NEAL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Frank, believe it or not, there are actually some people out in the water, despite the fact that people all along the beach have gone up to them and warned them. And the lifeguard, just a moment ago, was whistling to them and telling them to get out of the water, that it is contaminated. The problem is raw sewage is still pouring into Biscayne Bay right now at a rate of more than one million gallons every hour. The authorities are trying now to see if they can reroute the sewage through another pipeline. Now, this all started yesterday when a contractor working on a marina just off of Miami Beach accidentally drove a piling into the pipeline. It's the only working sewage pipeline in the area. But authorities are trying to revive that other route. But the problem is that pipeline hasn't been used in more than 30 years. Authorities say they cannot shut off the current pipeline because if they did sewage would back up in people's toilets and go on to the streets through manhole covers. Now those warning sides have been posted all along the beaches from Bal Harbour, through Miami Beach, down to Key Biscayne, warning people that they should not swim, and they should not fish in these waters until they are all clear. The contamination could cause stomach and intestinal problems and ear infections. Pat Neal, CNN, reporting live from Miami Beach.</s>SESNO: And Pat, before you go, can you smell anything? Do you see anything out there or is it just the signs that tell you what is out there?</s>NEAL: Well, where we are, you can't smell or see anything. The problem is, you can really see from the aerial pictures. Now, in some points closer to where the spill actually -- the break actually was, they said it was -- the odor was very distinct there.</s>SESNO: OK, Pat Neal, thanks very much for watching that story.
