A sewage spill into the Blackstone River in Rhode Island is much larger than state officials first believed. State environmental officials said yesterday that 920,000 gallons of sewage leaked into the river after a construction crew hit a sewage line in Woonsocket on Friday; earlier estimates put the amount at 100,000 gallons.
