City of Ann Arbor Update: Sanitary Sewer Overflow Caused by Contractor Operations Fail

Learn More Mid morning on Monday, Feb. 22, 2021, a contractor for the city working on a sanitary sewer relining project, experienced a by-pass pumping failure. This failure caused a release of an estimated 10,000 gallons of sanitary sewage onto South Main Street, which ran down the gutter into a storm drain, ultimately reaching Allen Creek and the Huron River. The pump was shut off as soon as possible after the pipe failed; and City of Ann Arbor Public Works staff and the contractor worked to clean up the resulting spill.
