At about 1 p.m. April 22, a sanitary sewer overflow was noted near 2201 Moran St., in Marquette Township.

Staff arrived on scene and began working on a broken pressure sewer cleanout. It’s believe frost heave sometime during the winter caused the break.

Discharge ended around 9:45 a.m. on April 23. It is estimated that 500 gallons of sewage was discharged during this time. Marquette Township performed clean up duties and mitigated the affected area by applying powdered lime. No surface waters were impacted. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy was notified.
