MIAMI (CBSMiami) – There's a water warning for part of Biscayne Bay after a massive sewage spill.

Signage has been posted in the affected areas.

The boundaries include:

• The Julia Tuttle Causeway to the north
• The Intracoastal to the east
• The Venetian Causeway to the south
• The shoreline to the west

The advisory remains in effect until two consecutive days of clear water testing occur.
