Within 30 minutes, pump trucks were out there working to suck up as much sewage as possible, but Saich said some sewage water did flow into Folsom Lake.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The stinky sewage also seeped into the gated community Rolling Hills Estates in El Dorado Hills.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"It was brown with stuff floating in it and it was bunching up into certain driveways," said David Michael, who captured video of the sewage flooding his neighborhood.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Saich said crews repaired the damaged pipe around noon Monday and no sewage services were impacted. They are now testing the water at Browns Ravine, and it could take days before they get the results as to how much sewage got in.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The video player is currently playing an ad.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"I don't know how many days it will take, but we will continue to test until we get the all clear," Saich said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Michael's glad the sewage on his street got swept up on Monday but shocked there has not been any communication to the community about the lake.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>CBS13 saw pump trucks out by Folsom Lake on Monday and spotted red signs posted on the way into Browns Ravine reading: "Danger. Raw Sewage. Avoid Contact."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>There was never any formal PSA or warnings posted at other spots around the lake.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Saich said they are only testing the water at Browns Ravine because this only affected that small area, but Michael questions if the rest of the lake is contaminated as well.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"I wouldn't be going in that water just me personally," Michael said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Saich said the irrigation district has followed all its protocols including contacting El Dorado County Environmental Health.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It said that the pipe that leaked the sewage has had problems in the past. That is why it is on a list to get replaced entirely soon.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>NAT</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>2:01</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>\"its like the river in willy Wonka and the chocolate factory that agustus gloop fell in, except its not chocolate.\"</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>STINKY SEWAGE SEEPING INTO A GATED COMMUNITY IN EL DORAdo HILLS---</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>219_5620</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>David Michael, saw sewage in neighborhood</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>:32</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>\"it was brown with stuff floating in it and it was bunching up into certain driveways.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>DAVID MICHAEL---CAPTURED VIDEO OF HIS CUL-DE-SAC TURNED MURKY RIVER IN REAL TIME SUNDAY NIGHT---</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>NAT CELL PHONE</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>1:17</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>\"this is going right into folsom lake.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>AND HE WAS RIGHT---</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Jesse Saich, EID Communications Manager</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>1:57</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>\"certainly some amount did get into the reservoir.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>THE EL DORADO IRRIGATION COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER JEESE SAICH SAYS THAT AN OLD PIPE THAT'S HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST NEAR GREEN VALLEY ROAD STARTED LEAKING THE SEWAGE INTO BROWNS RAVINE---</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>David Michael, saw sewage in neighborhood</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>3:58</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>\"people go paddle boarding out there, swimming.\"</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>MICHAEL'S GLAD THE SEWAGE ON HIS STREET GOT SWEPT UP---BUT SHOCKED THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE LAKE.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>219_5621</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>4:59</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>\"Is the water contaminated?
