A sewage spill at Hidden Cove Town Homes near the Tom’s Bayou area and the bridge in Valparaiso has caused the Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County to issue a health advisory. The City of Valparaiso reported a release of 60,000 gallons of raw sewage because of an equipment failure at a lift station. The affected area includes about a half-mile on the west side of Tom’s Creek to State Road 20. Okaloosa County Water and Sewer is performing water quality monitoring and testing to determine when the health advisory can be lifted.
