NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Officials are asking people to stay out of the water at Oleta River State Park until further notice.
Miami-Dade Water and Sewer officials said a 6-inch sewer pipe burst along the 2600 block of Northeast 163rd Street on Tuesday, which caused sewage to spill into an adjacent waterway.
The pipe has since been repaired.

The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County and the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources will be testing the water over the next few days and will lift the advisory once the water is determined to be safe.
