Stay Away From The Water

Ottawa County health officials have issued a no body contact advisory  for a portion of Spring Lake and Grand Haven, after sanitary sewage  spilled into the Grand River.

According to the Ottawa County Department of Public Health, the Grand  Haven/Spring Lake Sewer Authority estimates the spill started Sunday,  at a rate of 500,000 gallons of sanitary sewage each day.

The no contact order starts about 1 mile east of the US-31 bridge and  includes downstream to the Grand River inlet to Lake Michigan. People  who visit this section of the river are urged to avoid contact with it  until the sewer system is fixed and tested.

Anyone with additional questions about the situation can contact the Grand Haven/Spring Lake Sewer Authority at 616.847.3486.
