May 20, 2020 – Some areas of the City of Midland are currently experiencing a temporary disruption in sanitary sewer service as a result of ongoing flooding conditions in the city.
Five (5) sanitary sewer pump stations operated by the City of Midland Wastewater Treatment Plant have been overtaken by flood waters at this time. These pump stations are:
- Currie
- Towsley
- Emerson
- Moorland
- Valley
A map showing the locations of these pump stations and their service areas can be found at www.cityofmidlandmi.gov/seweroutage.
Please be advised that residents within these service areas may receive sewer back-ups containing both storm water and sanitary wastewater.
