Advisory lifted after sewage spill

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) -  A Public Health Advisory has been lifted after at least 300,000 gallons of sewage spilled from a manhole in Kalamazoo.

The City of Kalamazoo has received official notice from the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department to remove advisory.

Residents were told to avoid contact near a wooded area north of the Nazareth Complex on the west side of Nazareth Road near Gull Road.

A blocked sewer line caused the untreated raw sewage to spill Jan. 4 into a wetland area and Averill Lake.

It was the third such spillage in the county this month.
