The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy says that sewer main on the west side of Sault Ste. Marie was damaged Monday afternoon during a utility installation.
Because efforts to pump the lift station’s wet well couldn’t keep up, the city discharged raw sewage to Lake Superior for several hours until a repair was made near Sherman Park.
The issue was resolved as of 5:10 p.m.
