Broken sewer line creates new headaches for Pajaro residents trying to recover from flood

Days after flood waters from a broken Pajaro River levee inundated their homes, evacuated residents of the tiny Monterey County community of Pajaro now must contend with a new threat preventing their return.

Among its other impacts, flooding from the broken levee on the night of March 10 damaged a sewer main that serves the community, and repairs are needed before residents can return home.
