Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2026 6:28 am
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The county of Lake on Monday issued its latest update on the aftermath of the Robin Lane sewer spill, with most health recommendations remaining in place and a town hall set for midweek.
The spill, which began on Sunday, Jan. 11, lasted a day and a half but the impacts are expected to be ongoing, with no end yet in sight.
Lake County Special Districts operates the 16-inch force main on Robin Lane that ruptured early on Jan. 11. The county’s latest report submitted late last week to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services estimated the total size of the spill at 2.9 million gallons.
The Monday evening update included few new details, but did adjust the size of the sewage spill area.
An assessment of the new map puts the total area now at about 328 acres, down from an estimated 357 acres in the area east of Smith Lane, west of Old Highway 53, south of Pond Road and north of Bowers Avenue.
A town hall meeting to update the community is set to be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan, 21, at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
