NEW YORK — Pumps resumed working Friday at a wastewater treatment plant that spilled millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Hudson River, and officials expressed hope that the discharges would end in the evening.
Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Caswell Holloway said at a Friday afternoon briefing that the pumps were handling all of the incoming flow, and sewage that had been stored in the system was being reduced.
