Per Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy guidelines this message is to provide notice of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) event at 247 Monroe St, the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The event began at 4:15 PM 7/28/2025. Due to high levels of rainfall, the WWTP was overwhelmed and unable to handle the volume of influent. Flooding that was contained to the plant grounds caused only partial disinfection. The water leaving the plant was partially treated and going to the Saline River. At 7:15 PM the influent volume reduced to levels the plant could treat. The effluent was high in bacteria but has returned to normal.
