Sewer main breaks in city
MARQUETTE — The city of Marquette has a sewer force main on Granite Avenue that broke and leaked to the road surface. An estimated 100 hundred gallons of sewage leaked to the surface and pooled up on the road. The main has been shut down and the leaked stopped. Repairs are in progress.
The Marquette public works sewer crew was able to berm the spill and prevent it from getting into the stormwater system or the ground. The impacted snow will be hauled away to the wastewater treatment plant for disposal.
