"ANN ARBOR, MI – Ann Arbor officials estimate up to 600,000 gallons of sewage reached the Huron River during another overflow event.
A sanitary sewer overflow was discovered in a construction area on Geddes Avenue near the entrance to Gallup Park at about 7 a.m. Monday, Sept. 19.
City officials said the blockage was immediately removed and flow restored.
They believe the overflow occurred sometime between 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, and 7 a.m. Monday, Sept. 19.
...The city reported two other sewage overflows earlier this year, including one near Bird Hills Nature Area where an estimated 36,000 gallons of sewage flowed over land to an unnamed tributary of the Huron River over a period of 60 hours, and another that sent an estimated 400,000 gallons of raw sewage flowing into Malletts Creek over a two-week period."
