Gallons of sewage spill into Clinton River; Macomb County issues public health advisory
MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – The Macomb County Health Department issued a public health advisory after sewage leaked in Washington Township and into the Clinton River.
Officials located a damaged sewer main at the intersection of Hayes and 25 1/2 Mile roads in Washinton Township and discovered that 21,000 gallons of sewage are flowing into the Middle Branch of the Clinton River in Macomb Township on an hourly basis.
“Crews are currently assessing the situation and are actively working to alleviate the impact of the leak. Current plans call for the development of a bypass that re-route sewage around the leak to be completed by Thursday, January 30. After the bypass is established, longer-term solutions will be established and activated,” the county said in a news release.
Washington Township residents are advised to conserve household water through Friday and avoid pooling or ponding water.
Both Washington Township and Macomb Township residents should avoid direct contact with the river’s middle branch for at least 72 hours and wash their hands immediately if they come in contact with human sewage.
Macomb Township says Hayes Road between 25 Mile and 26 Mile is closed while repairs are underway.

All four crew members who were on board are safe, according to media reports.
Maintenance personnel and law enforcement officials remained at the scene into the early hours of Tuesday as authorities assessed the aircraft and investigated the circumstances surrounding the landing.
See what a ‘super’ El Niño could bring
USA TODAY Network reporter Brandi D. Addison breaks down what a strong El Niño could mean for weather patterns across the country.
It may be the middle of July, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac is already looking ahead to the fall with cooler temperatures ahead.
The Almanac, which has been one of the most trusted weather prediction sources for more than two centuries, recently released its fall forecast, showing a wide range of weather throughout the United States.
But what about in the Washington DC region? Here’s what the Almanac says.
What is the fall weather forecast in the Washington DC area?
DC sits along the Almanac’s Atlantic Corridor, and that region should expect a “cool, dry” fall, according to the forecast.
“Expect cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. “Below average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.”
Last year, DC received 6.53 inches of rain during September, October and November — significantly lower than the city’s 30-year average of 10.50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
September’s average temperature was 72.2 degrees, with October at 60.3 and November at 49.9 degrees. The season had an average temperature of 60.8 degrees, slightly below the 30-year average of 61.0 degrees.
What does the Farmer’s Almanac say about winter in Washington DC?
In its long-range forecast, the Almanac forecasts above average temperatures this winter in DC with snowfall below normal.
“The coldest periods will occur in mid- to late-December and early and late January,” it says. “The snowiest periods will be in late December, early January, and late February.”
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says it is 80% accurate, but a 2017 University of Illinois study found it to be just 52% accurate.
